With having a moderate case of progeria and knowing I aged faster, I was terrified I would never find someone to love me for who I was.
“I remember thinking there was no way we’d get them both to cooperate, but lo and behold, magic!”
“I want to say that I fell in love with you the moment I discovered I was pregnant; I didn’t.”
“Military is family to me and as a family we need to be there for each other.”
“My dad would always remind me I would be ‘his little girl.’ I never knew how much that meant until I sat beside him in a hospital bed.”
“You can see the overwhelming love in her face. She touched the baby’s head as she was crowning and giggled.”
“Chris and I planned to visit our wedding spot every year for our anniversary. I might not have Chris to go with me, but I still have a part of him I can take.”
“There has been nothing more fulfilling than being able to spend this precious time with her. Although her memory may come in and out as the days pass, her love never fades away.”
“I heard a noise from the bathroom where my daughter had been happily singing the ABC song, and had just shouted to me, ‘I almost done cleaning up, Mama.’ I had left her in the empty bathtub to clean up her toys.

“I asked her if she was okay and she stumbled through tears when she said, ‘Yes! She’s just so perfect!’ And she was — this all was.”
