I could honestly write a whole book on how much Pip has changed my life...Has changed me as a person & my perspective on things...But mostly she has changed me as a mumma...
The other night while watching X-Factor, I of course got caught up in the emotion of this beautiful gal's performance & story...

But what really got me was watching her mum- seeing the tears fall down her mother's cheek, the overwhelming pride she must have been feeling & knowing that there must have been such hardship along the way...I wondered how many sleepless nights she had worrying about her little girl, how many hospital stays they've endured, surgeries & appts & therapies, etc...


 I'm sure standing there watching her little girl in all her glory in such a moment was beyond imaginable... 


 Now knowing what it feels like to have a child with special needs I am changed- I look deeper & understand those tears that mumma shed a little more now...

 And good luck Rion Paige, what a little Happy Soul you are!!!
