Meet Xianyaliz

Xianyaliz lives in Florida with her parents, Rosalie and Edwin, brother, Julian, sister, Kiara and dog, Nene. Her name, Xianyaliz has a beautiful story. Xianyaliz means, “Heaven’s Angel.” Her middle name Diana, is after her maternal grandmother. “Daddy’s Girl” all the way. She is a music-lover, loves to suck her thumb, and play with her Sophie the Giraffe. Always a happy girl, she is always laughing and enjoying life. Her family is incredibly supportive and couldn’t love her more. Loving her comes easy and so do all of her nicknames, her family loves to call her “Chupps”, “Chuppies”, Lovely, Baby “Xian”, “Nini” and her sister loves to call her “Monkey”. Xianyaliz is working hard to get stronger as she goes to therapy weekly for PT, OT, speech therapy, and even aquatic therapy! She loves it! Her favorite places to go are the park and pool and loves to go to her grandparents homes! Like so many of our TBCK warriors, she is a biggest cuddle bug and her snuggles are the best thing in the world!

As a special needs parent we don’t have the power to make life “fair” but we do have the power to make life joyful. Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work. If you want your child to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others. Be a positive outlook on them and to others!
