I know! I love seeing such genuine love from a father. I don't have a father who loves me at all, so I love seeing that there are good Dads out there.

[@sadezem991]

Her parents are sooo sweet. Her mom watching Molly Burke's videos with her shows that she is not only educating herself on her condition, but that she wants to get involved in her daughter's interests. And her father working out with her and encouraging her to swim again... it's incredibly sweet, and it's not very common.

[@bokigaab7064]

Her surprise when she hears the words “endless pool” ❤️

[@EthalaRide]

This whole family is full of heroes, honestly. The Mother's search and reaching out for any form of help and problem solving is amazing. Her dedication and duty and love is written on her sleeve. And the Father's honesty at folding at first but then his dedication "no. we're gonna take this journey together" and his hands-on attention to his daughter and helping her made me tear up. It was only a line or two but that kind of stuff is SO important. When tragedy strikes, it doesn't just happen to you, but also to everyone around you, and there are a good amount of people who can't handle that. I know my dad isn't the most emotionally available guy, so it's just really amazing to see a father step up like this.

Just seeing this I am very happy that she said she was disabled instead of handicapped. I have been disabled for over 30 years and have never called myself handicap. It is a metal image and she is going to go far with her disability just like I have. She was raised to not let anything stop her just like I was. She has the same mentality I had at her age when I was diagnosed my bone disease which was much younger than when she lost her sight. I have seen so many that said that they were handicap of all ages and if that is how they look at themselves then that is all they were ever be. They will never get over it.

[@cloudsmari]

„I don’t need to feel anything you’ve done [...] I can feel everything in that room!“ Such a beautiful thing to say. It proves that going blind is just taking a single sense away but you get to keep all the others which will intensify! She such a strong, young woman she has my whole respect!
