When our daughter was born 16 years ago today we were devastated to see she was born with three defomed fingers on her left hand minus her wedding finger and to keep a long story short after umpteen trips to and fro to Jimmys Hospital in Leeds and all the amazing work of the plastic surgeons numerous operations they have given our daughter a new hand by transferring her toes to her hand she isone brave girl because through her childhood she has been taughnted and bullied for her imperfection of her hand but she was one little tuffy she delt with it all today is her birhday and one of her pressies is a ring she can wear on the finger we never thought would happen we can only thank the NHSand all the MEDICAL STAFF throughout her child hood for all the work they have done. Just thought i would share my story which has a happy ending were so proud of her.:D

Great story, I have always seen surgeons, doctors and nurses as amazingly talented people doing a job I couldnt even begin to contemplate, the responsibility, let alone the talent required is extreme. When you see how they can directly improve the quality of someones life like that it's quite touching.

Happy Sweet 16th C xx

Doreen I knew that there was some deformity with her hands but didn't realise it was to that extent! As you say what a brave girl she is to go through all that and yes she is a little tuffy!! Hope all of you enjoy her birthday today - and shall I look the earplugs out ready for the party tonight LOL :D

Sometimes language is not enough. 'Awe and wonder' comes pretty close though.

Happy birthday to a remarkable young woman.

Wishing you and your family all the very best Doreen.

If your daughter is anything like you, then I can understand where her resilience and strength comes from. I hope she wears her ring with such pride that those ignorant bullies may feel ashamed of their actions!

Please wish her a Very Happy 16th Birthday from us here also. XXXX

Many Happy returns to your daughter and thanks for posting that
Last year I travelled to Edinburgh to marry an amazing young couple, beautiful inside and out. The groom had been born with only one hand and the life experiences it brought him, even the bullying made him the good and admirable person he is. It doesn't matter which finger you choose to put a ring on or what shape it is or you are. With courage, as your daughter has, and a good heart there's always a happiness and love to be found.

Thank you for sharing.

My niece now in her fifties had the same deformity and at that time nothing was done. When she married instead of a ring she had a gold bangle for her left wrist.

Hope you all have a wonderful day, and your daughter a wonderful life.

We take so much for granted and then we read stories like your daughter's. She sounds like a very brave girl and you have obviously been there to support her through it all. You must be so proud and thrilled for her.

A very special Happy 16th to your daughter, Doreen!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful story. The grand daughter of my youngest daughter was born with a lazy eye. She has to correct her vision by wearing special glasses. One time in school a frustrated girl whio was having family problems went into the toilet where my grand daughter was washing up. The frustrated girl tore off my grand daughter's glasses and threw them into the trash can. About that time a teacher came into the toilet and saw what happened to my grand daughter. That brave little tyke told the teacher "forgive that girl - she's having a difficult home life." That made my daughter and me very proud of our little girl. She is celebrating her 8th birthday today.

I melted my right hand on an electric fire when I was a kid. Got it stuck on the bars - lost the top of one finger and wrecked my thumb, took all the skin off the back of my hand. Poor girl must have gone through some pain over the years, and it'll be an ongoing thing as she gets older too. Well done to her for being brave enough to go through all that. Its not easy!

Happy birthday.
Take heart lots of people have funny fingers....and as you get older its less of an issue.
I know a guy at work where I never noticed he had a couple of short fingers where the tops were missing one until it was pointed out to me (months later)
Its amazing what surgeons can do!

Happy Birthday to a courageous girl :) I'm sure that she will have a lovely b'day and a wonderful life ahead.
You must be very proud of her as I am sure she is of her parents.
May all the bullies in this often sad & lonely world feel shame & humiliation at their cowardous actions.

Let love & happiness fill your days :)
