Viewing my Angel through the eyes of her sister influences my own perspective as well.

In a heartwarming tale of sibling bonds, 12-year-old Jessa, the younger sister of Angel, a 13-year-old girl living with Angelman Syndrome, has shown remarkable kindness and understanding towards her sister.

While sibling relationships can often be complicated, especially in families where a member has a rare disorder like Angelman Syndrome, Jessa's approach is refreshingly simple. She values the small, everyday moments, such as playing on the floor with Angel, as much as more traditional activities like skating or giggling about girls' topics.

Recently, Jessa participated in the Friends With Wings program, a initiative by the Angelman Syndrome Foundation. This programme offers a unique platform for siblings and friends of those with Angelman Syndrome, allowing children across the U.S. to connect via Zoom and share their experiences. The group, affectionately known as "Angel Friends," provides a safe space for open discussions and the expression of true feelings about living with a family member affected by Angelman Syndrome.

The programme has been instrumental in helping Jessa's parent understand how to support Jessa and make her feel seen. It has also offered Jessa an opportunity to connect with others in similar situations, fostering a sense of community and understanding.

Jessa's interview was a focus on her bond with her sister, and it revealed her thoughtful nature. For instance, when her sister, Angel, ripped apart and scattered a floor mat, Jessa took the initiative to put it back in place.

As Jessa celebrated her 12th birthday this week, her parent expressed a heartfelt wish for deeper sister moments, such as skating together or sharing girls' topics. Despite the challenges posed by Angelman Syndrome, Jessa's relationship with her sister continues to be a source of joy and inspiration.

Sib groups like Friends With Wings are not a new concept, but this particular group focuses on younger audiences, offering a unique platform for children to connect, share, and learn from each other. In a world where simple moments can mean everything, Jessa's story serves as a reminder of the power of empathy, understanding, and the value of cherishing every moment with our loved ones.
