I think it’s time!

17 Girls
When my sweet girl came into my life eleven years ago. I had no idea what Rett Syndrome was – I had no idea that two years later I would watch this sweet girl lose the words she learned to speak, watch her legs stop working, and her hands refuse to allow her to feed […]

If someone had asked me if I […]
