Bones made of glass, but her soul is made of diamonds, God Bless you lil angel.

Wat a cuteipie she is....so innocent.
"Does it hurt when u break ur bone?"
"Yes"...that was so straightforward and so strong of her. Too much pain for a little baby.

why is no one talking about how amazing her parents are?

For those who are wondering: she reached her 10th birthday now in October 2020 :)

*She doesn’t deserve this, she is so sweet and adorable*

She may be made of glass, but she is the most beautiful ornament.

Edit: Ok so I know I posted this like a year ago but I wasn't trying to call her an object. I wasn't aware of what I was saying I was just trying to brighten the mood. Thanks for understanding before you reply! 💝

im starting to feel like im really lucky to have been born healthy.
Edit: Just saw how many people said I already should have, and I was but I never thought about how many things I could've been born with. Just thinking about it terrifies me to how lucky I am.

When one bone fractures people act insanely out of the pain ... How this little soul endure so much pain ...my heart can't take it...

I have that genetic disease. Not as serious as she has, but in my childhood I had to be more careful than the other kids. Now I live like everyone else, and I thank my parents everyday for making me a normal and aware person.
I tool that disease from my father, but we don’t know nothing more because my grandparents and uncles didn’t want to do the genetic test (an easy biopsy of a very small piece of skin).
I’m from Italy and every year we go to the hospital in Verona, where they study the osteogenesis imperfecta disease, and everytime I see many children showing a strenght that many normal people don’t have.
Yes, our lives are different and we live differently, but with faith and a little bit of creativity we can do whatever we want!

How is nobody talking about how beautiful, smart, and strong this girl is?!!!

My dudes when I wrote this comment I didn’t see any comments talking about how pretty she was and then I got hate for saying she’s pretty instead of how smart she is
Not everyone can be happy chill out this doesn’t affect your life whatsoever thanks

[kayreed]

she's so cute. I just hope when she's older she's not targeted by bullies because she's different.

[ProGamingsNDchannelMM]

She is in a situation worse than most of us and she still smiles more than all of us .

[eviestiles]

7:28 that was the cutest giggle ever 🥰🥰🥰

[jemadel]

She is hands down the cutest child I have ever seen in my entire life

[mosesstone]

this 7 year old is tougher then all of us, how would you act if you broke you bones at least once a week? what a strong child

[kiawev]

She is such a beautiful person, both inside and out. Think of how strong she has to be to endure that kind of pain daily.

I’m a dad, not ashamed to say I teared up before a minute hit the clock. I read that she’s past 10 years old now, I can only imagine the pride her parents feel.
