I really liked what I did last year when I posted a bunch of pictures of Isabella for her 8th birthday, so I thought I would do the same this year.  Although looking at these pictures makes me sad, especially when I look at Isabella’s debilitated state today, I also look back fondly on better days and smile.  So I hope they make you smile and join me in wishing our special girl a happy birthday and that our wish for a cure comes true.
