If there’s one thing I know about my daughter is she isn’t a quitter! I think most people wouldn’t blame her if she did. The headaches were going on the whole time. She just thought it was normal. I remember when she was around 4, she’d say her hair hurt. We laughed it off. Thought it was because she had a lot of hair and hated having it brushed. It kills me now to talk about everything. I can barely get through her story that’s why I did a timeline. Every time she accepts her diagnosis and gets on with life, still trying to do something with what she has. Her goals changing every time her condition changes. Exchanging dream for lesser dream. But she keeps going. Every time I think, “this is it, she’s not gonna get through it this time”,she does. She cries alone in her room many nights. She tries to be strong so I don’t hear her. She doesn’t want me to be sad. Can you believe that? God, if she only knew, I don’t matter. I’d change places with her so fast. It should be allowed. Mothers should be able to do that. She told me after she decided to remove her right eye, because I was crying, she said, “look at it this way, you’ll forever be young in my eyes”. She hadn’t seen my face since she was a baby! She’s in so much pain she wants to remove her eye but she’s worried about me? I pray every day she will get a break. That she won’t get another disorder or life altering diagnosis. I used to pray because she was blind, that was so long ago. Lanie says that’s a cake walk. Lanie’s a techie. She gets so excited to get something new. She’ll mess with it all night. Rheumatoid arthritis is taking her hands. You can’t imagine what that’s like for a blind person. So I don’t know where we’ll go from here, but I’m not gonna count her out. She has more determination than I’ve ever seen in my life. I hope her story inspires you. I hope you share it. I think we all have something to be grateful for. If Lanie can, we can too. Hope you’ll give her that support with this amazing technology. Let her know you believe she’ll get that degree one day. That you believe she’ll accomplish her dream. And if you pray, please pray for my girl. Thank you if you read all the way to here. Even if you can’t donate. Thank you and God bless you.
