This girl is everything! Her wisdom and maturity at 13 is incredible, she is such a poise beautiful soul. Not a doubt in my mind that she will do remarkable things.

[@MyGaara101]

This family is truly amazing! When she was talking about people kneeling over when they meet her hurt her, it made me step back. When I do meet children or people with a disability like Her, I instinctively wanna kneel down so I can speak to them at eye level. For me I felt like I was being respectful because when I speak to someone I want to be able to look in their eyes. It’s a way for me to connect but I never would’ve thought that it could make someone feel bad or small. So it’s amazing that you share these kinds of videos to allow the public to have this kind of knowledge in the future. Thank you SBSK for all that you do and sharing these wonderful stories.

[@kturby5489]

I agree! Really made me open my eyes. I personally have an “invisible” disability & there are many things people say/do with the best intentions, but it’s still hurtful to me. I never stopped to think if I’m also guilty of doing the same things to other disabled people. Wow! Touching

When they asked how many bones she has broken in her life, I beyond did not expect 150-200 to be the answer. That is incredible that she is so resilient.

I don't know how to ask those questions, or know what the right or wrong things to say are. These videos have taught me that it is okay not to know.

Us "walkers" tend to have so many distractions at our fingertips, that we often fall well behind others in the "being the best you can be" area. However, what good is life if you can't continue to grow in grace and knowledge? It's a process of all of us. Just an amazingly beautiful family, sooo lucky!!
