Auto-immune disease

I have been diagnosed with Vitiligo (a auto-immune disorder where my pigmentation is being attacked)...I am now a spotted leopard. When I came home with the new diagnosis I was in tears. My oh so sensitve girl asked me what was wrong and I told her. She gave me a hug and said "mom I love you even though you have spots" Charlie must of known that I was feeling sad cause he came to me as if I had been gone a whole day and hugged me soo tight. How could I be sad still with so much love coming my way!
