Excuse me? I am outraged by the holier-than-thou, monday morning football, back-seat driver tut-tut-tu-ing over the name pillow angel.
I don't know what you ever so tasteful people, but I give and receive all names of endearment that emphasize littleness and cuteness. The fact that this family can have a relationship of love and affection after years of hard work of caring for her, as evidenced by this term of endearment, speaks volume about their love for their little girl.
The worst part is that it is such hard work to care for severly diabled. You have to change their poo, collect their urine, shower them, change them, brush their teeth, everything. And, someone comments about their nickname for her?!! God, sometimes I despise this liberal smallmindedness and elitism of I'm too educated to do anything so vulgar. And, this coming from a liberal myself.
