We needed to send our GoTalk 4 back that we were borrowing so we took a few videos to remember it!

Perspective
Being Kelsey's mom means that I get to ride a rollercoaster everyday. The problem is, rollercoasters are fun as an occasional treat, but not exactly a desirable everyday fare.
Yesterday Kelsey, Daddy and I went to breakfast. Our waitress asked us when we were almost done what Kelsey's diagnosis was. I told her Kelsey had cerebral palsy. She said her granddaughter was born with an inoperable brain tumor and wasn't supposed to live past 6. She is 10.
I said, "that's great." thinking it is always great to outdo a doctor's prediction.
She said "no" that her granddaughter could do nothing for herself, was blind and had 135+ seizures per day.
I did not know what to say.
She said she had been watching us with Kelsey. That she "took her hat off to us" b/c Kelsey was such a happy little girl. That she wished her "Haley" could experience that.
Someone always has it more difficult than you do.
