just a vent....

Ignorance is something we all have to deal with on a daily basis. I understand i cannot change how the world views things. i am fully aware that throughout the course of Khloe's life, we will face many closed minded, ignorant individuals. I only wish i could make the world aware of the reaction you will get out of this little lady when your ignorance hurts one of my children. i have no patience for stupidity.

Today during one of my normal daily conversations, someone said something that really, and i mean REALLY offended me. much to my surprise people that i was once friends with, who have not had the privilege of meeting my little Khloe, were inquiring about her condition. which my first thought was how amazing this was!!! people want to know more about CP!!! spread awareness...thats NEVER a bad thing..right?right! well sadly the words that followed were like a dagger to the heart...it turns out this person (who shall remain nameless...because Khloe has a very protective slue of people who may not chose to be so forgiving..especially her "g" (my mom has taken the name G instead of grandma))  was also wondering if she looked "normal"......

im sorry.."normal" ???? im really trying not to curse in my blog. what is normal?  i have never been so hurt! not just for Khloe, but for every person that  the world expects to look a certain way.  my heart broke in that moment for each and every individual who will ever have to hear such a stupid and heartless remark. normal???  in this house...normal is overrated. who wants to be normal?? its BORING!

my answer...because i am certain this person will read this post.. NO! khloe does not look normal. khloe's pale white skin is illuminating. it glows..like the beaming rays of the sun. Her little crossed eyes are the color blue most would kill for...like a bluish steel color--that you find in a midwinter sky. her straight dark blonde hair is almost always out of place, but always accenting her face perfectly. her flawless smile can make even the most miserable days brighter. her tiny little figure allows us to baby her just a little longer. Khloe doesnt look normal. Khloe is the look of perfection. Looking at my little girl is like staring at the most beautiful piece of art. like catching a glimpse of heaven. her simple elegance and abundant beauty reminds this family how magnificent it is to be different. her daily accomplishments teach us how to find the beauty in the smallest of things.  her smile shows us how to have faith in times when faith seems impossible.  her giggles light a fire in our hearts that remind us of all this family stands for. We are completely happy with having an 'ab-normal' looking child...

i wish each person in this world would see the beauty in differences. each persons differences tell a story.  i ask that you all pray for those ignorant people..and lift up all the beautiful people that will hear ignorant words throughout their lives, because this world sees them as 'ab-normal' or 'different'....
