Galatea

If, eleven years ago, and a few months after the accident, you had asked me to write this forward, I would have smiled a sad smile and asked, "What for?" I would have told you Twilight would never have a body again, much less be able to walk. Yet here she is, just back from a diplomatic conference in Saddle Arabia, looking as peachy as ever. Here she is, a happily married mare going on five years. Here she is, proudly living as normal of a lifestyle as she can. I admit, those first few years were hard for all of us, and I often doubted what my "faithful student" would be able to accomplish given her condition. But she surprised us all. She told us she would press on and not stop until she could talk, until she could walk, until she could live on her own, and indeed, she did. She's fought harder than anypony else to get to where she is today. I've had many students over the years, but none quite as magical as Twilight Sparkle.
