You probably have heard about Suzy Favor Hamilton's life's story and her bout with depression. Before the news about her living a double life broke out in December 2012, Suzy was a complete stranger to me.
I was shocked by her story. A three-time Olympian, she married her college sweetheart and they had a 6-year old daughter. She was a motivational speaker and she was actively involved in the family's realty estate business. This almost-perfect life was marred by the images of her secret job -- as an escort who was paid 600$ per hour.
I've been following her story since December 22, 2012. I have experienced multitudes of emotions because of her story: from pity, to admiration, to disgust, to understanding, and to sympathy.
I've read almost everything written about her. Everyday, I was looking for some "Suzy" news but there was nothing that said about her and her family after that big scandal came out. Until February 5, 2013.
I saw this family photo she shared on her Facebook account and it said, "My rock and my little angel", referring to her husband and to her daughter, respectively. I became emotional when I saw it. It's unbelievable that Mark, her husband, didn't file for a divorce. I'm glad because Mark stood by her in those trying times. Indeed, he's a keeper. It's great to see that the family is getting enormous support from friends (based on the photo comments). It had 72 Facebook Likes the last time I checked it.
Where is Suzy Favor Hamilton now? This photo says it all: she survived that terrible storm.
