'm also a much better person,  Dimoff said.

 I've learned things about myself that have just allowed me to grow in a way that I don't think I would have been able to had I not gone through that situation,  Dimoff said.

Dimoff is now a mother of three with another child on the way and is studying to be a registered nurse. She and Pfund chose to share their story again so people don't forget what happened that day.

Dimoff has talked to her children about what happened to her.

 They know that a bad thing happened to me. They don't know his name. We don't, we don't talk about that. I have used it more for kind of teaching my children what to do if they ever happen to be in a situation like that,   Dimoff said.
