I am the sister of a boy with cerebral palsy.

I wonder what it must be like being unable to see, speak, or walk.

I hear his melodic laughter.

I see his sweet smile.

I want him to be free from his condition.

I am the sister of a boy with cerebral palsy.

I pretend to be in his shoes.

I feel blessed with such a precious gift from God.

I touch others' hearts with my love for him.

I worry that he is becoming weaker and weaker.

I cry knowing there is nothing I can do.

I am the sister of a boy with cerebral palsy.

I understand that he was born with his condition for a reason- it is all part of God's plan.

I say and honestly mean that he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I would not be the person I am without him.

I dream that there will someday be a cure for cerebral palsy.

I try to be the best little sister I possibly can.

I hope you realize that not everyone is as fortunate as you- do not ever take your life for granted.

I am the sister of a boy with cerebral palsy.
