From Jen's story entitled "Like Daddy, Like Daughter"

"Acquaintances, close friends, and family have told me that I inspire them with what I’ve gone through, and my response is always, “I didn’t have a choice. I just kept moving because I had to.” And they all respond with something like, “Sure, but you overcame all this trauma in such a way that was positive and not everyone can do that.” Listening to that repeatedly has truly made me believe that I am resilient. Just because the worst thing in the world has happened to me, doesn’t mean I have to play the victim card. I put on my big girl pants and freakin’ crushed it. That’s what my dad taught me…”Like Daddy, Like Daughter!” I want to scream to the world, “YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS!”
