Single mother of a GORGEOUS 3 year old little girl named Caileigh. Here is what I posted on myspace that just seems right to post in this statement as well. This is about my daughter's life and mine. This is what I have learned in my 22 years!
I never knew how true pain felt until my daughter felt pain. As everyone knows, my little girl was recently diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy. To say the least, I was shocked even though I already knew. Having a doctor look at you and tell you "There is nothing we can do ma'am", is heart breaking. To know, that Tylenol and a band aid cannot fix this, is to say the least, terrifying. My baby has a boo-boo, that I can't fix. :( I feel so guilty, responsible, and like a failure for allowing this to happen to my little baby. I never knew how to love until I had my little girl. She has consumed me, changed me, made me whole. She has made me the women that I have always dreamed of being. She has shown me through her struggles, that nothing is impossible. She has taught me that no matter what, we must always keep going. She truly is the light that keeps my path lit. She makes me smile, when I see nothing but bad. She makes me laugh when I am crying and distraught. She holds me when I, the mother, am losing control. She makes me feel loved when I feel like a failure. She makes me feel innocent, now that I feel guilty. She knows me, and I know her better than anyone else. My daughter truly is a blessing in disguise. She has a way about her, that I know, she is here for a reason. She has a tough road ahead of her, with several doctors appointments already scheduled for this year and next. We still have the question of, What form? Regardless, I know that my angel will overcome, probably quicker than I will. She has wonderful doctors and therapists that will be taking care of her. All she truly needs is prayers, support, and most of all love!
