Amen Mike!!!!!! I believe you're right on that. In my younger years I wasn't the best person. Looking back now after having my daughter and gong through what we have, it's made ME a better person just being around Lilly and her happiness and exuberance. Sh is a care free, happy girl and shows it quite often. She will be your friend til the end because all she see's in anyone is the good!!! You could do her wrong and she'll still love ya. That could be in part that she doesn't understand sarcasm or when people do bad things. She has been an inspiration to me as well, like I wrote earlier people ask who my hero is....... My hero is Lilly!!!! Her strength and persaverence to go on even when things don't look good.
My wife and I are a big part of the way she is, is the fact that since she's been born this is all she knows, she doesn't know what it's like to be "Normal" that's why a medically challenged child is always harder on the parents than the child!!
