Wow, did that make my day. To see that little girl hiding behind her stuffed animal one day, then the next looking at her face knowing that she doesn’t have to hide anymore. That just gives you a warm feeling all over.

Wow, this was beautiful and made me cry.
I have a facial deformity so looking at her happy face after just left me speechless.
