Hanaburgh certainly wasn't. Just fifty years old, he was a contented family man with a good job, when he had a stroke that left him without the use of his left side. Rushed to the hospital in a helicopter, Hanaburgh endured a long recovery period, but soon realized that love, deep faith, and inner strength could help him survive and even triumph over this adversity.
