Elise and Dave Esposito were able to capture the last time their 8-year-old daughter, who suffers from “childhood Alzheimer’s disease” say “I love you.” It is something they hope no other parent ever has to experience.
Keira Esposito was diagnosed with Sanfilippo syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes fatal brain damage in 2015. The syndrome is often called “childhood Alzheimer’s disease.” The cause of the disorder is an enzyme deficiency, which means that the young child cannot break down the waste products in her body.
According to Inside Edition, Keira’s parents captured the special “I love you” on video, but they had no idea that it would be the last time they would hear her talk.
“As a parent [you] know the firsts, the first time they take the first step, the first words they say, you know you record those dates, you know you can play those back,” Dave Esposito said.
