This is called death.

This is called redemption.

And this is called beauty grown by someone else and graciously given to Madison Blaine who can only grow fingernails and nothing else. (Thank you, dear sweet Tom.)

This is what freedom looks like after you've run walked up a half-mile hill of death and then topped it off with another 2.5 miles over a mountain.
