Lexie

Hello!  This is Lexie, the daughter of the burned diva "Foxy Roxy" speaking... or writing, rather... anyway, I wanted to tell you all how I feel about having a burn survivor for a mother.  She had me after she was burned, so I never saw her before the day it happened.   Therefore, I see the burns as a normal part of her.  When I see pictures of my mom before she got burned, she had flawless skin, and she absolutely loved to show off her legs.  I'm sure she gets a little self-conscious when people stare at her, but my mom made it a point not to let her deformities get the best of her.  I see right through her burns and take note of what's under the skin graphs, because a person's character is more important than their looks.  I love my mom so much, and I'm really lucky to have such a strong, free-spirited mother. :)
