My girl. ❤️
We have done so much together in your 16 years.
We’ve moved houses, changed schools, made new friends, crossed oceans and faced battles that most people will never understand. And through every change, every setback and every mountain, you’ve found a way to keep going.
I remember the day we had to consider a wheelchair. My heart broke a little, until I saw the independence it gave you. Then came the big seizure that paralysed your entire right side. You had to learn to smile again, use the toilet again and hold things in your hands. And girl, did you fight!
And then Boston. Our biggest adventure yet. The clinical trial that gave us hope and another reason to keep fighting.
Until you’ve walked beside us, you’ll never truly understand what it takes to live this life. The sacrifices, the uncertainty, the heartbreak and the endless hope.
My beautiful 16-year-old girl, I will never pass up an opportunity to spend another moment with you. Your happiness and quality of life will always come first.
I promise to make your days beautiful and your nights full of love. I never want you to close your eyes without knowing just how deeply this mother of yours loves you.
I have fears, doubts and a million thoughts about what tomorrow might bring. But I’ll never let my storm get you wet.
With God guiding me, I’ll keep finding the beauty in every day, and on the days you can’t see it, I’ll find a way to show you.
You and me, my girl. Through every battle, every adventure and every tomorrow.
I’ve got you. Always. ❤️
