When A Butterfly Spreads Her Wings: A Memoir

Just when the caterpillar thought her life was over, she became a butterfly. So, she spread her wings and learned to fly.

I don't see my disability as something to be ashamed of or a negative aspect of my life. It has taught me how to be creative, think outside the box and maybe even rock the world... SPINA BIFIDA STRONG!

"Annabella has been through a lot in her time here on Earth, and she is only 26! Being born with a physical disability, she never knew what to expect. At this point, she has dealt with a lot more than anyone in the world.

From the day she was born, she has had more surgeries than usual and faced challenges that not many people deal with within a lifetime. However, young adults with the same condition can relate. She has met so many people that have always thought of her as one of the bravest people they know, despite not knowing what she deals with daily. Some days are easier than others, but to her, each day is a gift.

Many wouldn't believe her when she says that she is thankful to be here, despite all she has dealt with, but everything she has encountered, good and bad, throughout her entire life, has contributed to her the gratitude and the happiness she feels every day. To help you understand, let's start with her story of living with Spina Bifida, from before she was even born."
