Parenting takes on new meaning when you read about this little fighter:
Ellie lost her hands and legs to meningitis at the age of 18 months. Although she was outfitted with standard prosthetic limbs, they were too painful. She also complained that she couldn't keep up with her twin sister Sophie. She is the youngest ever to be fitted with the new prosthesis, developed by Dorset Orthopedic.
No, this post is not meant to make you feel guilty. But it should make you think: all of those times when you complain about lousy coffee or not having enough money to pay the bills-what's really important in life? And when you turn down a friend's or stranger's request because you don't have the energy or time, is it really true? Couldn't you just give a little bit extra-like little Ellie here-and make the world a better place to be? After all, Ellie has no choice how to lead her life. You do.
