On May 5th of every year, we celebrate Cri Du Chat Awareness Day, a syndrome that my eldest daughter Elliott was born with. Cri Du Chat occurs when genetic material from the small arm of the 5th chromosome is deleted.
Elli is a ray of sunshine in our home, and is truly our biggest teacher. She has opened a window in our lives that would have otherwise stayed closed, and through it she has shown us a beautiful and unique life that may not be cookie cutter, but is so much more full and meaningful in all of the best ways. Elli is also the reason I decided to pursue florals full time as a career path (another gift from this amazing girl).
If you’ve been by the shop or come to see us at the Three Feathers Christmas Market, then you have probably met our Elli Bean (which honestly - lucky you!) Lucky all of us, really, to have you in our lives, sweet girl.
Happy Cri Du Chat Awareness Day to Elli, and to all the other beautiful and unique people with Cri Du Chat!
