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. 。

Scarlette was diagnosed with undifferentiated high grade spindle cell sarcoma, a type of tissue cancer, and as a result, her left arm was amputated when she was just 10 months old. So her mom has made it her mission to teach her daughter to embrace her uniqueness with the help of the festive holiday. 。

She spent it intubated, on all kinds of pain meds, but she was a survivor! So now Halloween means something more to us." 。Mashable Top StoriesStay connected with the hottest stories of the day and the latest entertainment news.Sign up for Mashable's Top Stories newsletter 。By signing up you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.。By signing up you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. 。Thanks for signing up!。
