HER ADVICE FOR OTHER MOMS

REALIZE THAT YOUR CHILD’S DIAGNOSIS DOESN’T DEFINE THEM. EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT, AND IT’S YOUR JOB AS THEIR PARENTS TO DO WHAT’S BEST FOR THEM. “You’ll be faced with people who judge and question your decisions, but you’re the one who knows your child best.”

“YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL BUT NOT ALWAYS AT THE SAME TIME. THERE ARE MANY CHAPTERS IN LIFE, EACH FILLED WITH THEIR OWN LIFE LESSONS. SET YOUR GOALS AND YOU WILL GET THERE, ONE DAY!”
