I dont want this.
So thats when I then give a shot to find the positive.
“I think the biggest thing is don’t take anything for granted,” she replied.
“Normally, I’m used to running seven miles, today I’m barely walking one.
But you know what?
I’m here and that makes me feel good.
These are special times that we get to do any of this.”
Still, Teddi admitted that she normally likes to feel in control.
But nevertheless, Teddi said she’s found humor in the situation, which helps her stay positive.

Its kind of the only way.
Hot girls never die.'
That’s going on my tombstone.”
