It was a blessing to see Amy’s family again this year as they emerged from the pandemic lockdown and took to the beach on Coronado. Their oldest daughter, Maddy (17), has Rett Syndrome, a genetic, neurological condition that requires her to use a wheelchair and makes it difficult for her to make her body do what she wants it to do. In spite of her disability, Maddy has a bright and sweet personality, and she is clearly adored by her parents, siblings Anna (15) and Luke (8), and nurse Jenna, who accompanied the family on their trip. It was a little chilly on the beach that March evening, but this family is big on making memories and celebrating special times together. I love that they were able to rent a beach wheelchair for Maddy so she could be right in the middle of all of our crazy beach escapades at sunset.
