Yesterday, Emily gave me a wonderful gift.
Just a little something I have been wanting for 16 years to see.
I have been waiting for so long that I forgot I wanted it.
Which means that when I got it, I was once again left speechless at my daughter’s accomplishment.
To all the doctors and therapists that didn’t believe in my girl’s potential…
Here it is! My girl’s drawing. With music notes, lettering and even Emily’s signature in the middle of it all.
16 years in the making!
Lessons from my daughter 
I hope that you continue to receive many more of these! What a wonderful gift no matter what her age. It sounds like 16 is a hot year for her. Way to go!
Thank you. 2014 has been a great year for all of us!
tears rolled down my face when i saw this. i know how monumental this is. you will never forget it. ) beth
