Mom uses Halloween costumes to help 3
One of the best lessons any parent can teach their child is to embrace exactly who they are. It's especially important to instill this in them when they're little, so that they can grow up with a strong sense of self. One mom uses Halloween to do just that in the most amazing way.
Simone Tipton, who resides with her family in Silverado, California, creates special Halloween costumes for her 3-year-old daughter, Scarlette.

So her mom has made it her mission to teach her daughter to embrace her uniqueness with the help of the festive holiday.

It’s my husband and I’s favorite holiday and she had her amputation the day before her first Halloween. She spent it intubated, on all kinds of pain meds, but she was a survivor! So now Halloween means something more to us."
Scarlette loves dressing up and uses her missing arm as acknowledgment that she's healthy. Her mom said, "She tells everyone that with two arms she’s sick, but with one arm she’s not. She loves that she has special costumes."
This Halloween eve marks the third year anniversary that Scarlette has been in remission.
