On the 6th Day of Rare Christmas Phoebe wants you to know....it is important to find your happy place. For Phoebe, her desire to be just like her sisters, able to do everything they can do, able to experience everything that they do, is something that she struggles with each day. Her health complications and symptoms make her reality one where she doesn't always get to share their experiences or do everything she wants to do. Early on in our journey we knew we would need to find a happy place for Phoebe. Somewhere where she could forget about her limitations and feel free. Luckily, we found such a place early on in our rare and undiagnosed journey. Our first family vacation was to Disney World. The moment we walked into the park and Phoebe laid her eyes upon Minnie Mouse we saw a joy we had never seen before. Phoebe had found her place. The place that made her forget all about the doctors, specialists, tests, procedures, and treatments. The place that made her feel that she was just like her sisters. When they tell you Disney is magic, I can assure you that it truly is. The services that they provide for individuals like Phoebe is unmatched. She gets to experience every character encounter, every ride, every parade, every show...just like her sisters, with her sisters. Disney gives Phoebe the feeling that she struggles to find everywhere else. For that, I will be forever thankful.
