Cheyenne has thought it funny lately to tell me that she is going to get me Life Alert for Christmas. These comments were generated out of an initial discussion regarding the labyrinthitis and the potential for dizziness and loss of balance, so I took them originally as a misguided attempt at expressing concern for me.

Stinky McFadden chewed my new shoes.
Stinky McFadden chewed my new shoes.

I share it because it speaks to embracing your uniqueness and rejecting the conformity that others may seek from you for their own comfort. I love that she gets this and I hope she always keeps it with her. The world [...]
