My daughter, Delia, is one of the most wonderful people I know. She is kind, she is generous and she is resilient beyond belief. In her 13 years, she has seen more hospital rooms than I care to think about. You see, Delia was diagnosed with epilepsy at 4 weeks old. She’s also had cancer and lives daily with mitochondrial disease as well as several other chronic illnesses.
