  • More about Emma's Laugh: The Gift of Second Chances - A Memoir


Diana's first child, Emma, was born with a rare genetic disorder that left her profoundly physically and intellectually disabled. Convinced of her inability to love her "imperfect" child, Diana gave Emma up for adoption. But as Emma grew, Diana watched her live life determinedly and unapologetically, radiating love. Emma evolved from a survivor to a warrior, and in her short eighteen years of life, she gifted her family the indelible lesson of the healing and redemptive power of love.

Diana's heart sank as she gazed upon her newborn baby's face, her languid body, and the absence of a cry. She knew something was wrong. The doctors delivered devastating news: her first child, Emma, had been born with a rare genetic disorder that would leave her profoundly physically and intellectually disabled.

Diana's imagination painted a bleak picture of life with a child with disabilities, a life in which she would be forced to exist on the periphery, alongside her daughter. She was convinced that she was incapable of loving her "imperfect" child and providing her with the best care and life she deserved. In a moment of profound despair, Diana made the difficult decision to give Emma up for adoption.

However, as with all things that are meant to be, Emma found her way back home. As Emma grew, Diana watched her live life determinedly and unapologetically, radiating love always. Emma evolved from a survivor to a warrior, and the little girl that Diana didn't think she could love enough rearranged her heart in ways she never could have imagined.

In her short eighteen years of life, Emma gifted her family with the indelible lesson of the healing and redemptive power of love. This is a mother's requiem to her perfectly imperfect child—a child who left this world too soon, but whose lessons continue to inspire a life lived and loved.
