I want to walk like the others. . .

I was on youtube earlier and saw this video and I thought I'd share it with you so that you can all understand Xaynee's disability.



Hemiplegia is a form of Cerebral Palsy and Xaynee is affected on the left side of her body. Although my little girl can walk on her own, her condition is getting worse and that is why I want her with me so badly to make sure that she gets treated.

This video left me in tears, I have to admit that. I remember how Xaynee used to try to run as fast as she could in her own little way while her sisters ran away from her. I felt so sorry for her when she finally stopped or fell down, exhausted and with bleeding toes. The longing in her eyes broke my heart.

Children nowadays just don't realise how very fortunate they are to just be normal.
