Birthday Cards to Three Doctors

Every year on her birthday I send cards to the three doctors who tried to talk me into killing my daughter before she was born because they feared she may be "profoundly disabled". She isn't. I include pictures. These will be in the 15th card they've received. I hope it weighs.

A social media post shows a collage of photos of a smiling red-haired girl and a younger child, including playful family moments and outdoor activities. The mother sends the images to three doctors who once advised terminating the pregnancy because they feared the daughter would be profoundly disabled; the joke is a darkly triumphant revenge against their prediction, with “I hope it weighs” implying the repeated evidence of the girl’s happy life should weigh on their conscience.
