The infant had not previously displayed any signs of distress. Walker says, “We saw her performing acrobats at the 13-week checkup.” She was so animated that we were both laughing so hard. And everything was just so flawless.

Walker, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1996, claims that he never asked God “why” after he received the diagnosis. You know, if I make it to paradise, my first inquiry will be, “Why did this have to happen to us? I am incapable of comprehending this, especially as the best mother in the world.
