Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

Today is the twenty fifth day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and before I tell you about it, I would like to wish my grandma a happy birthday. Happy Birthday grandma I love and miss you. I wish you a happy birthday in Heaven because I know you’re rejoicing happily there. I know I will see you again someday. Today I also want to share how a story about someone else can leave a impact on that person. Today that happened to me when someone came to the school and talked to all of us. It was so interesting to hear their story that it made me realize I’m blessed to not have what they have but really understand how much of their story impacted me because even though I may not have what they have, I know what it’s like to go through something. I know what it’s like to have people not understand me because they have not heard my story and they have never met me. I got a chance to ask my two questions to the speaker today and being able to hear their responses was amazing. It makes me want to continue to help spread awareness for hydrocephalus not just for this month but everyday. I am always going to have it, but I don’t let it stop me from being able to volunteer at school. I certainly don’t let it stop me from being me and being who God created me to be. He created me this way for a reason and I’m glad. People like me who have hydrocephalus, have trouble making friends, I am one of those people who still have trouble with that. They also have surgeries because their shunt quit or malfunctioned . These things can happen with a shunt, but yet no one gives up. I know I don’t. I’ll be sharing a new post tomorrow but until then please enjoy tonight’s post.
