Samantha loves to cook and no matter what she has a smile on her face. Every day she surprises me and the things that she does, I have been told that she would not live very long, will never learn to walk or ride a bike. My angel has Rett Syndrome which is a form of autism. The one thing I do to help deal with the autism and that is breath every minute and take one day at a time without either of those I do not think I could make it. My husband is in the United States Army so I have had my share of deployments and we have six children including Samantha. I believe in one thing mainly and that is God does not give you more then you can handle I thank him for my strength and my children, without these two I would not be who I am today.
