Like always I would love to thank the splash members for their pics ( I love to credit other people it’s feels right)

Today I want to talk about my Disability!(:

Let’s dive in!

I have been waiting to do this for quite sometime now I think I just been waiting for the right time.

I am doing it for myself and for other family in the world who has a disability any kind or have Townes Brock Syndrome.

Townes Brock Syndrome :

Meaning: is a genetic condition that affects several parts of the body. The most common features of this condition are abnormally shaped ears, and hand malformations that most often affect the thumbs and sometimes hard of hearing.

I have practically every single one of them.

As a young Abby I was told I had U shaped kidneys, seizures ( I grew out of it so don’t worry some people don’t have it) and like I have right now hard of hearing.

Heard of hearing is seriously the most frustrating thing to be honest.

For Parents:

I have been asked about my disability and some I could answer and some I didn’t and immediately regretted it afterwards I felt so bad to be honest because she just wanted answers for her baby girl who passed on if I remember .

But here is what I have to say : I am not a total expert but I will try my best so here it goes(:

Townes Brock Syndrome Is Pretty much genetic or it won’t be genetic ( see that’s where I don’t really know lol) your child will be born so handsome/beautiful just the way they are it might be scary but trust me they will be the most amazing person to grow up ever! Trust in him if you do he made that child because he knew you can handle your baby.

For those AMAZING people who have disabilities:

Oh my goodness how are you feeling?(: I am here to talk about us okay so please hear my advice(:

If you are ever feeling alone please please talk to somebody you trust they love you no matter what.

I have been where you are at lemme guess you aren’t feeling so good about yourself huh but that’s okay, it’s okay not to be okay let your burden down okay let your support system be there for you that’s what they are here for.

Follow your Dreams!(:

I am! I am a college student for photography and what I want to do is take personal pictures like you guys smiling while doing what you love doing I’m not sure if that makes sense so I will explain it down below.

Okay let’s say that your guardian ( or parents) , myself and you are in awesome space and let’s say you have a coloring book that you love doing so I would go around you taking pictures while you are smiling and having fun.

Lastly Smile :

Always always smile because that smile will literally make someone whole day if not that’s totally okay sometimes people have bad days just know it isn’t you because you are to pure for the world (that’s a good saying by the way) Take care of yourself okay sweetie.

Any please parents or guardians need any other questions please don’t be afraid to ask any question my social media is Only insta and that is Abbydee92.

Thank you guys like always for reading my stories love you all and I hope your taking care of yourself

Much love
