Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords released an audio recording to her constituents, letting them know she is “getting stronger” and wants to get back to work. She also expressed sorrow towards the victims of the January 8 shooting.

According to Gifford’s office, she recorded the message “last week in Houston, where Giffords has been undergoing rigorous rehabilitation therapy for 10 months. ”

Hello, this is Gabby Giffords.

I miss you, I miss Tucson, the mountains, blue skies, even the heat.

I’m getting stronger. I’m getting better.

It has been a hard year – for all of us. Thinking of that day makes me sad. Six people died. Six innocent people. So many people hurt.

There is lot to say. I will speak better.

I want to get back to work. Representing Arizona is my honor.

My staff is there to help you. They keep me informed on your behalf.

I miss you, I miss home. I will see you real soon.

Thank you.
