Thank you so much for stopping by!
This is for my daughter Gwyneth (a.k.a. "Gwynie").
Gwyneth was diagnosed with type 1 Neurofibromatosis just a few months ago. As of now, my daughter is only two and a half.
As those of you know that are aware of this disease and its effects- she has an uphill battle ahead of her, for perhaps even the rest of her life.
