Mom Confessions

This little girl's pictures have been circulating on FB lately and I can't believe how heartless some of the comments are.
One person even said that "People should stop lying to her and tell her how ugly she is. It's just mean to continue letting her live the lie that she is beautiful."
WTH? She has a disease called 'Progeria'. It causes her to age rapidly. She is basically a little girl in the body of a 90 year old.
How can some people be such freakin' A**holes to a little girl who is sicker than you can image and whose parents have to face that their baby is going to DIE before they do??

We saw a little girl in walmart that had this. I was worried my dd would stare. When we were standing next to them my dd looked at her and said.....mom she is so pretty. I was so proud of her. -

Quoting alexsmom29:
I think if it is true, that's horrible? But how do you know what it is? Just because someone posted it on FB of all places doesn't make it true

So people can't have opinions? Sorry, but no I don't think she's beautiful. There is nothing appealing or easy on the eyes about her. Yes she is sick and will die yrs ahead of her time. But that doesn't take away the fact that she's not cute. She is very abnormal and odd. -
This ugliness of this world is far beyond anything any of us could imagine.
