Before the Daily Mail article, I'd seen the interview on
Today and read the article at their website.
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/31502540/?GT1=43001I'd also been aware of the late, great Sandy Allen,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Allen who had gotten a lot of stick about her own body size and shape. But she made a point to not let it keep her down. In fact, she'd been a strong positive person, and had helped kids learn that it's okay to be different. I was particularly impressed on her outlook on one interview, saying that she thought most people made jokes and nasty comments to "cut her down" so they wouldn't feel so small next to her.
Education World article on her here.
http://www.education-world.com/a_curr/curr004.shtmlMy heart and prayers go out to Tanya Angus. She seems rather down about her own situation. I hope she'll get the cures and help she needs, and meanwhile will take heart, see the good examples, and try to be positive.
Any way we can reach Tanya and let her know we're rooting for her?
