Over the years I watched the tireless efforts of both her parents dealing with a child with MD, learned to appreciate what true parental love was all about.
Lost touch with them many years ago, but I had heard through friends both parents had died at a fairly young age, not sure of the daughter.
Sad.
Do not ever doubt how much God was thrilled by your 12.51.
I did the backyard carnival for MD as well. Twice, about the same age.
I’d forgotten and was reminded by your post.
That's got to be one of the biggest worries, what happens if they die before their child.
