Later that evening, I sent a message to my sister, expressing my disappointment and providing links to information about eczema, hoping she’d take the time to understand. It wasn’t just about this one incident—it was about ensuring my daughter, and others like her, are treated with kindness and respect.

My daughter deserves to jump into the pool with the same carefree joy as any other child, and I will always do my best to make sure she can.
