Upon visitation to Grandparents Day at my grandson’s school I arrived just in time to see the children enjoying the recess period. My eyes easily glanced to this little boy with no arms looking rather lonely, standing by himself watching all the other children playing together. That moment certainly reminded me of my childhood and never included in team play because I looked different. I have deep compassion for those children and was the purpose for my book BREN-DEE about the challenges I faced as a child with a facial difference and how I survived on Bookmarks with hope that my story will inspire young girls with similar adversities.

Bookmark Of Hope

As a child my jaw was injured in an automobile mishap and I would cover my face with my hand to cover my flaw. My mother would provide comfort to me by giving me hope that one day my jaw would be fixed. With that hope I would take my pretty little paper dolls whom I dreamed of looking like to school each day and the paper doll became my Bookmark. When I was teased about my oddly shaped face… I would look at my Bookmark for comfort with hope that one day I would look like her.

Bookmark Of Vision

My vision was that the day would come that my jaw would be fixed and my face would look like my pretty little paper dolls.

Bookmark Of Faith

After many surgeries my face is not perfect like my pretty little paper dolls but I am blessed that I no longer need to hide my face. Thank you, Jesus from the bottom of my heart for sending me those angels my Bookmarks to comfort me during those difficult days. I am Blessed!
