Life is hard. There is no way around that. It sometimes hands us things we don't really deserve, things we can't possibly understand. But despite how much our hearts are hurting, we have to find a way to believe that sometimes we're not supposed to understand. We just need to accept the circumstances and lean on the people who love us most.
One of the greatest gifts a person can give another is support. Our local communities have been kind and willing to help others when things get tough.
Tough is just one positive reference to describe little miss Dana Standke. Tough because she has taken a serious injury and still smiles and looks at the good things that have occurred instead of the bad.
Eleven-year-old Dana came to Minnesota from Nepal when she was just a baby. She lives on a farm north of Beaver Lake with her parents, Shelly Standke and Dan Enzenauer, and she loves it. So much so she is eager to take part in helping with chores and small jobs that need to be done on the farm, including taking care of the animals, feeding the chickens and picking eggs and such and is a happy influence on her family.
