“Let me tell you something about deformity that I didn't know at the time, but know now: it teaches you a lot.
It either ruins you completely and makes you useless to yourself and everybody else, or it makes you strong, so strong that you can overcome almost anything.
You become the one who comforts the normal people around you, and it turns out you help them to bear
your suffering. . .
Even though I have had to struggle and suffer to obtain what almost everyone else takes for granted - a face - I now believe my survival was an important part of God's plan for helping other afflicted children.
I truly believe that.”
-- Debbie Fox
