And that was my little sister five years ago who was born with MD, and Down’s syndrome. My dad who had been in Vietnam before she was born, never celebrated a personal birthday at all because it was, “just another day.” I’ve stopped allowing my family to celebrate mine since her death on my birthday. Doctors gave her five years to live, she lived 41 blessed years longer.
Reborn from the ashes like the Phoenix
