"If I could play one day of basketball, I would be satisfied with my life."
My name is Kylie Webster, I am 24 years old, and I suffer from a rare neurological disorder called Leigh's Disease.
....and these wheels are my feet.
When I shower and get ready for the day it is equal to a normal person running a marathon.
When I try and walk, I take 1 and 1/2 to 2 steps then fall. I don't have enough strength to keep going.
Many days when I feel alone I think, "Why me? Why is my life so hard?"
...but I know everyone is fighting their own battle. And mine is a lot easier than some peoples.
"I wouldn't change my situation for a million dollars. It has made me who I am."
Girls like these, keep me going. I live my dream through them.
They are all the best friends I could ask for. I have learned so much from every single one of them.
I know this test on earth is such a short period of time, and because of the gospel in my life, I know one day I will be able to walk, run, and play basketball.
From being on one of the teams Kylie managed, I know from experience that Kylie is more of a blessing in our lives, then we could ever be in hers. Kylie taught lessons of compassion, optimism, kindness, determination, and true love. Having her there everyday with you, you remember how the simple things like being able to write, walk, and text are such a great blessing in life. Watching Ky we learned that no matter what our trial is, we need to be able to move forward with our head up and a positive attitude.
