The name of my condition is Cartilage Hair Syndrome Hypoplasia, but you can just call me Billy.
The general public thinks all little people are in circuses or sideshows. We have doctors, nurses, just about every field covered.
I have been truly blessed from the Man upstairs.
We are people with all the hopes, dreams, passions, and faults of everyone else. Eighty percent of us are born into families with no history of dwarfism.
Try being my size and going into a public restroom.
I have a feeling that we have been placed on this earth for a special reason and although I have not fulfilled all my missions, I am trying.
We are your brothers, your daughters, your friends. We just happened to have been wrapped in a smaller package.
