I wear a silver ribbon. It is an outward sign of the inner turmoil that I face everyday as the parent of a VACTERL child. It is a small but powerful reminder that our lives will never be the same. It takes my breath away. I never thought that I would wear a ribbon and certainly not for my daughter… but here I am and I wear my ribbon so that people will ASK. I need everyone to know how hard my princess has to fight to stay here with us.
I wear a silver ribbon to convince myself that some day we will have a normal life and be able to tell Kyleigh the story of the ribbon and why its so special.
I wear a silver ribbon to remind me how precious life is. In remembrance of the VACTERL angels who are no longer with us.
Most of all I wear a silver ribbon to remind myself to HOPE for a better day tomorrow.
Everyone asks me what can they do to help our family? .
I have one simple favor to ask… on October 24 wear a silver ribbon. Wear it for me and for Kyleigh and for hope.

You better believe that on October 24 I will have my silver ribbon on for you and for Kyleigh! I will also spread the word and provide silver ribbons for everyone in my office!
