| Patrick,
The little girl most probably already knows that she is not normal. But, the love and inspiration of her family makes all the difference. I have Icthyosis Vulgarus, which is a seasonal thing, and for which there is no cure.. Every winter my skin dries all over to the point of scaling. This year it is afflicting my face (fortunately not my chops). I suffered the comments from classmates, and even my own brother and sister, but you learn to survive.Likely the girl will suffer the same ridicule from classmates and others. She too will survive. Instead of pitying her plight, be proud of her, like her parents are! Christopher Reeves used his plight to help others. His wife now is surviving cancer, but has learned from her husband how to fight and survive.
We must all be grateful for what we have. I believe that it is God's way of checks and balances. The little girl is so fortunate to have her family, which loves her and will help her to succeed. Others are not so fortunate to even have a family.
God bless.
Gary
