Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Hi ! You really hit the " nail on the head! " To find out there are others who " look like me " is a big deal, especially for a child. I wish I had only known. For many years I just thought I was some sort of freak of nature. I kept wondering why I didn't look like anyone else, or even like anyone else in my family. Finding out that it's a genetic condition really helped. But I wish I could have met other kids like me when I was a child. Someone who also knew how it felt to be the ugly duckling in school. My hope is that other children now won't have to suffer what we went through. Hugs to you all! Loka > > > > > > > > > > Hi guys! my name is Celine.
