NEW YORK — A mom in Missouri is speaking out about her recovery after surviving a tornado that took the lives of her husband, mother and two youngest children, ages 5 and 2.
Kuri Bolger and her 8-year-old son, Brysen, are now moving forward together as the surviving members of their immediate family.."Thank God he made it through and everybody was able to save him because, at this point, he's my rock."
Bolger suffered a broken pelvis and broken leg and spent nearly 10 days hospitalized due to her injuries. Brysen suffered a sprain in one foot."I was so excited to have him, but also so sad that it was just us," said Bolger."The rest of our family was gone." Bolger said she and her husband made a point to focus on quality time with their kids and loved ones, time for which she is now thankful.
Bolger remembered Owen for his fearlessness, copying everything his older siblings did, as well as his politeness.Kinlee, who was 5, had the"most sweet, kind soul of anybody I've ever met," according to Bolger. "I think that's where I get my spontaneous, adventure-seeking style of living," Bolger said of her mom."She was just a bright light in everybody's world.""I'm going to try and carry their lights out," she said."It's a lot, but I'm going to do it."
"She was always the first one to praise somebody for something, always," Parker said of Bolger."Now, everyone is stepping in ... seeing how they can encourage her because she was always the first one to encourage somebody else."
