The Gift

My niece Brennah attempting to open a Christmas gift on Christmas morning at my sister's house in Tacoma.

 

Brennah is 7yrs old (DOB March 2000) and was born with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. While she has some mental and physical difficulties, such as speach limitations, she operates a computer with amazing ease, loves to sing, watch teletubbies, and the Mariners are one of her favorite teams to watch on tv...She exudes confidence in all she does.

 

When Brennah was younger I'd go visit my sister when I was stressed or depressed and Brennah would hug me and let me hold her, smile and pat my face....she always made me feel better....like a miracle cure! She doesn't usually let me hold her so much now that she's older, but watching her still lifts my spirits, such as when I was watching her open a present on Christmas Day ... it was delightful; she was so very focused on what she was doing.

 

This photo is entitled, "The Gift".....I am referring to Brennah. :-)
