I recently saw a meme that one of my friends shared about her journey with chronic illness and that describes a person’s journey with chronic illness with a holiday classic the 12 days of Christmas, seeing the meme my friends share that meme gave me the inspiration to write my own version of the 12 days of Christmas about my life with Cerebral palsy :
