    Before the birth of our daughter Sabrina, we were told to to be aware of the facts: that the delivery success rate of a child born with HPE (holoprosencephaly) is less than 6%, and that most of those who do survive, do not usually make it to 6 months of age. Which is probably why (I’m willing to bet) you’ve never heard of it.

    Never tell me the odds.

    Sabrina is now 8 years old, and although she is, in many ways, much like an infant, she has taught my wife and I more about life, love, and the ability to survive past seemingly unsurmountable hardships. From her, I have learned how to appreciate the little things in life. From her, I have learned how to live, and every birthday we tell her that the entire country is celebrating with us when the fireworks light up the sky in the same way that she has lit up our hearts.

    I've retyped this sentence five times now. I think speechless was the word I was looking for.
