Soldiers are always exposed to grave dangers every time they put their feet on the battleground. Their profession requires them to live or die. If you are a soldier, will you still choose to live after surviving an attack that leaves you without arms and legs?
Retired staff sergeant Travis Mills lost his arms and legs in an IED attack in Afghanistan. He has a family that motivated him to live. However, as a dad with a little girl, he has his own fears.
Miller initially thought that without legs and arms and tubes all around him his little girl would think of him as a monster. He thought that he looked too scary for his little one and that she might not want him for her dad anymore. But his daughter remains sweet to him.In fact, she was his motivation to recover.
Only five have survived quadruple amputee injuries and Travis' love for his daughter pushed him to live normally despite his condition. Travis can still drive, walk and play with her daughter. In fact, he is developing a retreat center for veterans. The place will help people like him reunite with their families and heal.
Travis' story is an evidence that a parent's love for his child can go to great lengths. It heals and makes you whole again.
