Susan Torres' Father Tells the 'Best Story'

Earlier today, Paul Rollin, the father of Susan Torres responded to this post with the following remarkable message:

I am Susan's Father. Aren't you tired of the headline "Brain Dead, Pregnant Woman, Gives Birth to Very Premature Baby Girl, Who May Have Melanoma Too?"]

How about this Headline?..."An Incredible Miracle Happened at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, VA?" The story then reads. "A 26 year old NIH scientist, who defied most of the doctors who gave her "No Chance of making it past the first week",...Whose strong will, and determination, even after brain being pronounced dead from a brain hemorrhage that left her brain virtually destroyed, delivered a healthy baby girl. Every attending physician, was amazed at the positive outcome because it should never have been possible. There was only one Will stronger than Susan's and he was working with Susan."

Anyone who ever knew Susan (Rollin) Torres, would tell you that they are not the least bit surprised that Susan got the job done. She never could be told that she could NOT do anything. Since she was a very little girl, she defied anyone who told her, "Susan, You Can't Do That. You Are Not Strong Enough". She made them all eat crow.

Susan was driven by a will to succeed that was surpassed only by the Will of God. You had to lead her, follow her, or get the hell out of her way. She would never allow a mere human being to stand in her way. She went over, under, or through them.

So the real, best, story of Susan has yet to be told. There are so many stories about her that her friends want to tell. You will be hearing more about Susan as time goes on. Don't be surprised what happens. Susan lives in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. And she lives on in her Son Peter, and her Baby Girl, Susan. If Little Susan is half the woman her mom was, Step Back World!!! There is a train coming down the track, and if you get in her way you will get run over.
