It was August. We were on vacation, just my six-year-old son Kevin and I, for my husband was always busy. Having driven from our home in the city to a remote and peaceful place, we wouldn’t see friends or family—it would be a nice, safe, socially distanced week away. We had hiked about half mile to an attractive spot called Diana’s Baths, which afforded visitors an expanse of transparent water. The water flows and then falls off a series of big flat stones, making itself a small waterfall, about 7 inches high.

Several couples and their kids in swimsuits were playing to their heart’s content in the water. We joined them. I watched as some younger parents nervously drove their babies away from the stones edges. Fast-moving water made standing there quite dangerous, for I saw a certain kid with curly hair missed a step and almost fell down. The air was full of shouts and laughter. I felt so lucky that I didn’t always need to fix my eyes on my son. Kevin could navigate his physical space with more confidence and care. But I was still terrified when I saw Kevin jump between the slippery rocks.

But with the passing of time, I soon relaxed, and we were both having fun, my kid splashing and kicking in the cool water, laughing heartily as I put my head under the cold running water.

Then seconds later, every fear I’d ever had rose to the surface. I lifted my head, turned and saw Kevin sitting between two stones, with the rushing water flowing around him. I could see he was shaking sometimes because of the water rapids. I yelled at him to get out. He yelled back something that I couldn’t hear.

Lesia Cartelli was badly burned in a gas explosion at her grandparent’s house at age 9. In fact，the burns were so severe that her own grandfather didn’t recognize her. But now，this brave woman uses her injured past to help other burn victims find healing.

On that terrible day，Lesia and her cousin were playing in their grandparent’s basement. A gas leak caused the whole house to blow up. The explosion threw many of the 9 family members in the home across the street. Already a fighter，Lesia pulled herself out of the ruins. Flames still covered her little body，so she rolled in the dirt and snow to put them out.

“It was all face，hands，back and it had burned around my waist，”she says. Lesia’s own grandfather thought she was someone else because of how badly she was burned. As nursing staff loaded her into the ambulance，her grandfather tried to leave. He thought the house ruins still held his granddaughter’s body. Even though Lesia was right in front of him，he didn’t realize it was the same child.

Catching a glimpse of her reflection in the ambulance window helped Lesia understand why her grandfather didn’t recognize her. Burns covered 50％of her body and fire burned off all her hair.

Lesia spent several months in the hospital，undergoing surgeries and skin grafts(移植). Once released，Lesia’s scars(疤)drew stares and questions from people. so she started isolating herself.

“When I was burned，everything in my life changed，”she said. “My friendships changed. I hated going to schoo1. You are coping with things you never had to cope with before. People staring at you. People asking questions. Why do you look like that?”

Lesia could have remained isolated her whole life. When bad things happen，we can always choose to move backwards or to let God give our pain purpose. Lesia chose the latter，realizing she was put on this Earth to do more than just survive.
