We were finally free from the hospital and it’s stuffy corridors and non opening windows and vinyl flooring we were on grass looking up at the sky then it happened her back arched and she reached up for the sun and screamed that is the last time Viola will see the sun. I am terrified as I run back to the hospital thinking she was going to die.I run back inside as fast as I can the doctors told me why and I know I won’t be having anymore kids it is too risky.Viola is one of the hundreds of children who have XP.She will never be able to go in the sun.She could die because of the skin cancer she might now have because of me her own mother it is my fault. If she dies due to the skin cancer I might have given her today,I will never be able to forgive myself.Most XP kids don’t even live to the age of 15 let a lone 20 her life will be cut short and it's all because of the genetic condition her father and I gave her.I am helpless no matter how hard I try she will still get burnt maybe someday we will be able to walk in the sun together and she will be safe.
