Bree Bree This entire experience is inspired by my sister. She has multiple developmental disabilities including: OCD, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and is intellctually delayed. This meant so much to me because my sister is the kindest person I know. She never judges anyone regardless of how different they may act or look, welcomes everyone and anyone with open arms, and brings joy to everyone she meets. On my worst days she is a shining light with the most contagious laugh. If more people had the kindness that my sister shows on a daily basis, I truly believe cruelty would cease to exist. She loves the story I created and loves Bixy. Mom & Dad Without my parents support and love, I don’t know where I’d be today. I was only able to do what it is I wanted in life because they are always there to support me. The only reason I was able to go back to college and put all of my focus into it is because I knew I would be okay with my parents help. They let me dream and reach for the stars. My mom puts a lot of work into making sure my sister has a better life and to ensure that she will be okay for the rest of her life. Not only does she do this for my sister but she is also a broker for many others like my sister. She does her best to ensure independence and happiness for all of her clients. Brothers Barry, Billy, and Danny: my brothers and I were introduced to developmental disabilities at a very young age. We understood that there were differences between us and our sister but it was never something to make fun of. My older brother has always fiercly protected us from the negative things in the world. He inspires me to protect others the way he always protected us. This means the world to me. When it comes to my little brothers, I don’t know if I would have survived college without them. They’ve helped me with school work whenever I asked while simultanesouly talking me down from quitting college altogether.
