Wishbone Day

Less than a week after Will's expected arrival into this world on May 2, lots of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) parents and their special kiddos will be celebrating Wishbone Day.

Each year, on May 6, people all over the world come together to celebrate the lives of everyone living with and impacted by OI.  If you don't know much about OI (or even if you do!), I strongly encourage you to watch this video to see firsthand how these amazing people are thriving with this rare genetic condition.

Also, folks all over the world are planning to wear yellow on May 6 to show their support.  If you wear yellow to support OI awareness, please be sure to send a picture to me at thetallchickblog@gmail.com.  I would love to show Will pictures of everyone wearing yellow so soon after his birthday in support of OI.
