Many families are happy, but there are stories that evoke deeper emotions. One of them is the story of Charlie and Cullen from Australia. The couple has three children.
The older daughter, Tilba, was born in 2015. Charlie and Cullen have varying degrees of dwarfism.
Charlie suffers from achondroplasia—a form of dwarfism that affects bone growth. Cullen has helofysic dysplasia. This is a rare form in which the body is proportional but problems with breathing and the circulatory system occur.
Due to health problems, doctors expected that their children might also be affected. Nevertheless, the couple decided to become parents. The older daughter was born with achondroplasia, just like her mother.
After two years, the couple decided to have another child. The younger son also received the same diagnosis as his mother. But in 2021, they became parents of a healthy son.
Despite the difficulties, the family lives their lives to the fullest. They travel often and maintain an Instagram account. Charlie and Cullen help people with similar problems.
They have taught their children to love themselves, despite their short stature, and not to be discouraged by nasty comments.
