She’s the Girl With the Big Brown Eyes

EyesFeature

She’s the girl with the big brown eyes, with lashes that go on for days.

Thick brown hair that waves and swirls with red flecks that catch the sunlight. A big bright smile when the mood hits her right and a laugh that spreads like wildfire.

She started this life healthy. It seemed only to become more uncomfortable by the day.

Words that came early and all said with purpose and endless charm.

Those very words were stolen from her with no warning or explanation, leaving silence and deep frustration. 

She needed my comfort and then pushed it away as if it too was painful for her to be touched. 

Our girl had disappeared right in front of our eyes. We could still see her, but it was as if she was locked up tight behind a door, and I had no access to the key.

My mission became finding that key to free her from whatever was holding her inside.

So we went to work, my girl and I, searching and working for words. 

Finding just the right balance between overstimulation and a regulated body so she can reach her full potential in any given situation. 

Little by little, I heard some words come back and witnessed the smile return to her face. 

It was not a single key that I was searching for, but a full set of ever-changing keys that we would use for the rest of her days.

We have opened her up, and when I look inside her, I always see;

The girl with the big brown eyes with lashes that go on for days.

Thick brown hair that waves and swirls with red flecks that catch the sunlight.

A big bright smile when the mood hits her right and a laugh that spreads like wildfire.

    THANK YOU DR ISIKOLO COMING TO MY RESCUE AT MY WORST MOMENTS.
    My husband and I have been battling marital issues for the past 6 months and little did I know the family was the brain behind the problems we ever had. The issues escalated and he eventually moved out of the house. I was alone with my daughter and life was miserable without him by my side. I did all I could to end the problems but to no avail. So I had to seek help which led me to contacting DR ISIKOLO. Just as I have always wanted, he heard my cry and came to my aid. He resolved the problems we had and my husband and I came back together and it still amazes me when I get the result in 2 days as he promised. If you are having issues with your partner, contact him now and he won’t fail you as well because he is trusted and reliable. email him: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or text him via WhatsApp: +2348133261196
