This mother went where few have gone to truly put her daughter's desires first.
Julianna Snow's mother, Michelle Moon, is a neurologist and was instrumental in finding her daughter's diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. The 5-year-old little girl has spent much of her young life in the hospital, battling the incurable neurodegenerative illness where even the common cold can be deadly. Michelle decided to ask her daughter what she would like to have happen if she were to get sick again and shared Julianna's emotional response.
Michelle: "Julianna, if you get sick again, do you want to go to the hospital again or stay home?"
Julianna: "Not the hospital."
Michelle: "Even if that means that you will go to heaven if you stay home?"
Julianna: "Yes."
Michelle: "And you know that mommy and daddy won't come with you right away? You'll go by yourself first."
Julianna: "Don't worry. God will take care of me."
