What was the highlight of your week so far?
We made it to another week, hooray! Reflecting on the last few days, what was a bright spot for you? (No answer is too small, by the way, the sun coming out and providing literal brightness totally counts!)

Have you found any books, shows, or movies that portray achondroplasia well?
