Emily: A Blessing Amidst Challenges
Emily has been a blessing in my life, despite the challenges we face due to neurological impairments. She functions at the level of an 8 to 9 year old. She was born perfectly normal but had adverse reactions to her two four and six-month well visits. Watching her grow and learn at her own pace has been a humbling experience, reminding me of the importance of patience and unconditional love. Emily will never achieve traditional milestones like driving a car or holding a job, because of chemical injections. Despite this, her gentle spirit brings joy to those around her. As her parent, I have accepted that our journey may not look like others, but I am grateful for the precious moments we share together. I have learned that true health and happiness come from within.
