Framed Print "These Are The Days"
This is Owen’s handwriting.
This was created in our home in 2019 to celebrate the addition of a new baby coming into our family. Some children living with Sanfilippo Syndrome like our Owen are not able to or never will be able to write. These markings of his will be something that we’ll always cherish more than I can explain. I had him trace this sweet quote for you so you can live in the moment with us and enjoy the little things.
Try to enjoy the little messes, take the time to hear the laughter and the footsteps running through the halls of your home. Choose with me to embrace the chaos and do your best on the harder days because someday they won’t be there anymore.
These are the days, friend.
In our home, we’ve learned that life is short. Perspective is absolutely everything and that the truest of strength you have will come when you fail, fall and make mistakes. Taking ‘one day at a time’ has been our motto and encouraging others to find their purpose through the pain, no matter what it is you’ve been through or are currently going through. You are not defined by your past, you are not defined by your mistakes, you are not defined by your failures, not even through your words that you may have said or what others will think. What defines you as a person is something you may not have even found yet. And that’s okay. But once you find your purpose in the journey, you’ll have it all. You’ll become who you were created on this earth to be and you’ll be able to help so many others in theirs. Thank you so much for being here with us in our story. Welcome into our home, ‘the house on College Avenue.’
