Poetic Stephanie, 

At the Award Night. Reading her poem, she put it together. 

Below are the words, a creative and poetic lady with OI. 

In a world where strength and fragility meet,

I find my place, walking a unique beat.

Living with OI, a journey complex,

Balancing life’s demands, I strive to connect.

With bones prone to fractures, I move with care,

Yet my spirit remains unbreakable, aware

Of the challenges faced, day in and day out,

I embrace my limitations, without a doubt.

Life’s path may be filled with hurdles and pain,

But resilience blossoms amidst the strain.

I cherish each moment, big or small,

For they shape my story, standing tall.

Connections are forged, a community is strong,

Supporting each other, where we belong.

Through empathy’s embrace, we unite,

Sharing our triumphs, in darkness or light.

So let’s celebrate the journey we tread,

With OI as a part, we rise ahead.

Balancing life’s scales, finding our way,

With strength and determination, day by day.
