I just wanted to hug her and tell her how beautiful she is and regardless of her height that she truly is somebody special and no one can take that away from her. Being different isn't always a bad thing and i wish more people would understand that I saw the episode on TLC with a friend tonite 3/25/07 and you are right what courage these kid have but watching Hannah made me real sad to see her so upset because she is so beautiful and yet she said she felt like nothing.

Unfortunately changing the perceptions of what is 'normal' in our societies is an almost impossible task. It only takes one fool to stare or make fun to hurt someone and take away their confidance.

I had never realized how simple things in our ordinary lives can be big factors for other people. I don’t watch much television as well; however, this documentary is what makes some TV programs important. Not many people realize how different things are for others. Even worse, some people put down people who are different. The documentary completely touched me. I had never realized how simple things in our ordinary lives can be big factors for other people.

As an update, Dan graduated high school this week, and got a huge ovation from his entire class. It is truly remarkable how well he has been treated by his schoolmates over the years! He is going to enroll in a community college in the fall, though he isn't quite sure yet what his major will be. He also went ot his senior prom a month ago, and had a great time there. We'll be traveling this summer to the Little People of America (LPA) convention in Seattle, where we'll see most of the other people who also have MOPD II, including Hannah, Bridget and Brad, and also Kenadie Jordan-Bromley, who was featured on a separate show for TLC. It's sure to be an interesting week. A final note: One of the parents of an MOPD II child has set up a charitable foundation to help out the families who are struggling financially because of the medical bills associated with the syndrome. It can be found on the web at http://www.potentialsfoundation.org/ Thanks again! I’m glad everyone liked the program so much, it was a lot of fun making it.

I was in Montreal this past weekend and saw this documentary for the first time. I was immediatly inspired by their stories and could not be happier for these children as they seem to be marhcing on full force in life, not limiting their own abaillities. I was so sad to hear Hannah say that she felt like nothing. I am a singer songwirter and I have written a song for Hanna. Does anyone know how I could possible get into contact with her and her family, so I can share it with her?? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Denise Hello all…

Life is getting more difficult for her daily but she is a happy little girl, so if you see a little person, don't just stare - maybe ask a question, we would rather that.

Sometimes i'm embarrassed to be a human being, how many of us moan because we have an head ache or a bout of the flu. There children, adults and their families are so inspirational. What we take for granted these children and adults take in their stride albeit it can be a hurdle for them and they do it with dignity! Over the last couple of months I have serached the web for information about the condition and whilst the medical information is limited and confusing, there are some remarkable sites out there about the chIldren themsleves. www.ourlittlemiracle.com ww.tinybraveheart.com www.alex-connerty.co.uk www.walkingwithgiants.org These children and families are truly marvellous Dave Hi, i’m from the UK and these programs along with some based on english kids have been aired.
