This is my niece, Eliana. The picture on the left was taken last Christmas, and the picture on the right was taken this Christmas. Doctors told us she was going to be still born. She came out screaming and breathing on her own. They said she wouldn’t live 48 hours. She turned one in November. They said she’d never talk. “Mama” is her favorite word. They said she’d have violent seizures all her life, she’s nevre had one sign of one. They said she’d never eat outside of a tube, mashed potatoes are her favorite. They said she’d be a vegetable, she screams for her daddy every time he walks in the room. They said she’d never have control of her muscles, she dances every time the theme song to True Blood comes on.

Don’t tell me miracles don’t happen. This girl means the world to me. <3
