The beauty and joy that Rose gives is a gift for those of us who are not aware that we let sadness control our lives.

Rose is beautiful in every way. I work in ABA and I have a client with Angelman Syndrome. He is the sweetest child I have ever met. 💙💙

@rickyanthony I'd like you to respect my privacy during this time.

@rickyanthony You probably don't realize the grief you are causing here. It's not funny to me, and this isn't a hoax. We miss her. If you cared enough to do any amount of research here, you would know that AS can come with a number of complications. Also there is in fact a privacy concern. Please move on with your life and let this family grieve in peace.

Nope. That's pseudobulbar affect. Very different from this.
