Sassy Sally and Her Little Dog Suzi Celebrate Birthdays

I'm Amber. The precious puppy pictured in my lap is my 3-year-old Yorkipoo named Darla Mae. I've had Darla ever since she was eight weeks old, and we've been inseparable ever since. Animals are so healing, and Darla has been a huge blessing in my life.

I have Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 1, and I have a beautiful, but very different, life. When I was diagnosed at 6 months old, the doctors said I wouldn't live to be 2. My older sister died at 6 months herself from this disease, but God had a different plan for me. I'm now 32 years old and there's maybe nine other adults like me in the world, but I'm the most functioning one. Visit my website at https: //www.brokenandbeautiful.online to view art that I make (with help) and sell.

I love Jesus and I know He loves me. I asked him into my heart at the age of 8, and even though I'm so imperfect and sometimes make a mess of life, He's constantly picking me up, dusting me off, and telling me to get back out there! He has taken the broken pieces of my life and made something absolutely beautiful out of them.

I hope you like my book! Stay tuned for more of Sassy Sally and Her Little Dog Suzi!
