Sophie and I January 2012
One in a Million Kid. That’s my Sophie. Long before the name was popular, Sophia was a unique name that fit my daughter in a million different ways.
My Sophia was named after her maternal great grandmother, a woman that to me was “one in a million” herself. My family entered the world of special needs on December 28, 1993. Little did I know the impact this infant would have on myself and the people she touches, the village that has helped me to raise her. Now a young adult, we recognize the miracle that she is, and the hard work that got us here today. Not an easy life, but one we have fought to hold onto and to rejoice in the accomplishments. The small moments that you look back on and realize are the big moments. The big moments that don’t always work out like you imagined they would.
