This story goes out to anyone with a case of the Mondays: That 12-year-old girl who survived a fourteen-story fall down a chimney by landing on collected soot appeared yesterday at a music festival in the courtyard of her Bethune Street building and sang the spiritual "Deep River." Afterwards, Grace Bergere had some inspiring words for a NY Post reporter: "Everything is a bit more intense now that I'm still alive. I appreciate things that I didn't before. You see the beauty in a lot of things that you didn't - like walking in the park. I used to walk around with my eyes closed." Bergere dislocated her hip and fractured five back vertebrae in the 100-foot fall, which occurred as she tried to show a visiting cousin a view of the city from the roof. After a month in the hospital, she finally returned home two weeks ago: "I still have back pain, but I'm able to walk."

Lucky for her the accident did not shut them forever.
Really annoying how when this happened, the villager newspaper reported that she was generally unscathed.
Why can't Wall Street learn from this girl?
Thank God she survived.
"I used to walk around with my eyes closed."
Which explains the whole falling-down-a-chimney thing.
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
hopefully she knows how privileged she really is and will do some good. Some still go back to their ways even after such incidents.
I love the get-up... she's going to become a supervillain!
JayCjay...I like the cut of your jib ,Sir!!
