Her name is Lily.
Today, she turns 9 years old 🎈.

There are no birthday cards on the table.
No messages lighting up a phone.
No voices singing her name.

Only a quiet that settles in — a silence no child should ever have to carry.

They say it’s because she’s different.
But different does not mean invisible.
Different does not mean unwanted.
Different does not mean unworthy of love.

Lily laughs like any other child.
She dreams like any other child.
She feels the absence — deeply — like only a child can.
And yet, she still waits.
Still hopes.Still believes someone will remember.

A birthday is supposed to say: You matter.
And today, Lily deserves to hear those words louder than ever.

If you believe every child matters — if you believe love should never skip a child because they are different — please leave Lily a birthday wish 🎉, a kind word 💌, or a simple prayer 🙏 below.

Let’s turn this quiet day into something she can feel in her heart 🤍.
Happy 9th Birthday, Lily 🎂✨
