NAPLES, Florida (WBBH) — When you first meet Anywyn Watts, you can’t help but notice her positivity.
What you don’t notice is the unfathomable pain she’s faced at just 7 years old.
Anywyn’s mom, Stephanie, says it started with a headache.
“She began to pass out, and it was that point I was on the phone with 9-1-1,” Stephanie said.
Doctors found a large tumor on Anywyn’s brain.
“You had right side paralysis, you were possibly blind, you’d possibly be deaf,” Stephanie said. “But you’re not any of those things, and they said it is an absolute miracle, right?”
In between the constant doctor’s visits and four months of treatments, Anywyn found a steady presence in the storm.
Every morning in the hospital, Stephanie would turn on Gulf Coast News Today so that Anywyn could watch her hero.
She first met Jason at Cape Coral’s Pridefest three years ago.
Today, at Baker Park, Anywyn didn’t have to send Jason the song; she could sing it to him in person.
Sometimes, in the midst of our pain, the right person helps us believe in brighter days.
