All I Want For Christmas…

December 13, 2009 by Victoria
All I want for Christmas is....

Hope for my child.
I dont dream of her walking.
I dont wish that she could climb a tree.
Those things are lovely, but we could manage life in a powerchair...
and I know my little fighter would rise to the challenge with a smile.
No, my wildest dreams are simple.
I wish my daughter could breathe.
I wish she could swallow.
I wish she could grow up...survive.
I wish the world knew about SMA
because I know if they knew the sweet babies it takes,
the smart children it cripples,
the future it snuffs out so prematurely --
if people knew about SMA
I know they would push for a cure.
I know they would donate to research.
I know they would sign the petition.
I know they would scream from the mountain tops:
"SMA is KILLING our children!!!"
A cure is so close.
Research is so promising.
I just hope it is in time for my baby.

Talk About It
