He soars all around and never leaves my side. He can hide very well and sneak up from behind! My purple parrot is large and then small, and scary, then calm. He is My Purple Parrot and he is one of a kind!My Purple Parrot comes from the point of view of a child living with epilepsy. It expresses the difficulties of seizing, having constant reminders as well as overcoming the condition, and having the strength to enjoy each day. When I was diagnosed with Epilepsy at 17 years old, I felt lost. No one around me knew much about it and we weren't sure what we were supposed to do. I would be confused and scared for years as my seizures changed in type and triggers. When I finally found help, I wanted to share it. Over the years I have worked to bring attention to how common Epilepsy is, the various types of it, how to handle seizures safely, and helping parents, children and others find support. I have come to learn that everyone has something they carry with them, those invisible pets that no one will ever completely understand. - Amber Woods
