Fragile Cassie Chapple

Never give up on your dreams, never believe all that you're told, and never give up the fight. When you go from believing you're not capable to discovering that you are, and proving it, that makes it even more incredible and gives you a great feeling of satisfaction. Premature Ovarian failure and living with a disability like Fragile X doesn't have to restrict your life or make it bleak, it just means you have to do certain things a little differently. Being different isn't bad, either - it's what makes us unique, and having a child with Fragile X is definitely that. Always look for the positive, no matter how dark situations get or how challenging they become. We are a lot stronger than we think and the body can overcome things that we never thought possible. Hope and faith got us where we are today, and more to the point, where my daughter is. I couldn't be more thankful and I truly believe that if you want something badly enough, it will happen.
