Strong: Life, loss and eternal love for my daughter

by Ashley Cain

Would you believe that superhuman strength does in fact exist, and scientists classify this as a disease? What if you were a child born with an unprecedented form of this already rare muscle disease that gave you extraordinary strength, appearance and stamina?Growing up with Myostatin Deficiency was not an easy task for William Strong. He was bullied by other children, discriminated against and later hunted by the law for murder. While homeless and seeking refuge in the shadowy back alleys of Milwaukee, WI, he unintentionally becomes a local hero--striking fear in criminals by his violent displays of chivalry, fueled by a hatred for his past and the people in it. Although his disease gifts him with tremendous strength, his lack of compassion and forgiveness . . . makes him weak.

It is sad story but I felt the child went through so much and filled with such toxicity that it wasn't fair on her little body. Especially when even though most of her organs were tumored the elongating of her life ended up tumours to grow on the brain and would have explained some of the blood leaking in death from tear ducts and ears. It went on too long. I hope though his fundraising the children who don't have a famous parent to gofundme pages get a little help too.

This book moved me to tears. Azaylia is a hero, a fighter and a true inspiration.
