Imagine

Imagine...

A world where children don't get sick with scary diseases
A world in which 8 year old little girls don't get diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
A world in which those same little girls don't have to wake up each and every morning and wonder if they are going to be able to see that day, and if so to what extent. 

Imagine...

A world in which my daughter isn't afraid every morning that today is the day that she is not going to be able to see anymore. 
That today her world will turn all black.

Imagine...

A day when she will never have to wake up crying in the morning because her legs are hurting her - another effect of MS.
Where the muscles in her legs are not constricting to the point that it makes anything - sitting, standing, walking painful. 

Imagine...

A world in which companies are working just as hard on finding a cure for MS as they are for treatments for those currently living with the disease. 
A world in which the focus on children with MS is on equal footing with adults with MS.



As I imagine these things I begin to hope for these things. Sarah has shown me time and time again in the 5 months since her diagnosis that hope is beautiful gift. A treasure that really can make things come true.
