“Ann Farr – Gifts for My Disabled Daughter”

Your music was playing at a small restaurant (Chapters) on Anna Maria Island, Fla. Because I was visiting my sister from England, we were busy catching up on all the latest news but your music found my soul and I asked the restaurant owner what it was. She told me, and even took me to a store where I could buy your CD.

It wasn’t until I got back to Michigan that I actually sat down to listen to it. My 19-year-old disabled daughter was listening, too. How perfect that moment was. Kristen is my “forever baby” Her health is precarious and her doctor calls her his “miracle patient” she wasn’t supposed to live for more than one year. But she is nothing less than beautiful and nothing less than whole. Her loving is truly miraculous and her connection with my soul is deep and perfect. Your song says it all.

I will recommend it to all the people I am in contact with who have children with the same condition that Kristen has (Hydranencephaly) the song verbalizes what most of us know in our hearts, but cannot express. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Shaina. Your music brings a smile to my daughter’s lips and tears of joy to my eyes. Bless you.
