Hi Danielle, I loved reading about your wish you received, and never forget that you will ALWAYS be a princess!
My mom Linda, was the first white Sickle Cell patient diagnosed when she was just 5 years old in 1950. She was only 50 yrs old when she passed away from this disease, and how it made me smile to hear that you have been cured of such a horrible disease! I remember her pain, and I remember crying that I couldn't do anything for her, and she became my hero, and whenever I didn't think I could do it anymore, I remembered how strong she was, and I could keep going.
Now I got to read your story and it also gives me hope and courage, thank you for sharing it and I hope you live a very long and full life, just like every beautiful princess deserves!! God Bless you and your family sweetheart!! :)
