Life with Cerebral Palsy: Pepper's Story

I made the video (below) in 2015 in order to tell Pepper's story up to that point. Two years later, we are still moving forward! Sometimes slower than others, and often times its a case of one step forward, two steps back.
We have never regretted Pepper's diagnosis and we are grateful for the opportunities, adventures, and wonderful people it brings into all of our lives. Pepper was meant to do great things, and through her struggles will come her greatest strength. As her mother, I have learned to derive my strength from a constant practice of gratitude and looking for the beauty in every situation. Sounds cheesy, I know, but it is absolutely what gets me through the hard days! We are beyond humbled to be her family. She teaches us about love, courage, and how to dig deep when the going gets rough.
