When Veronica Waldrop\u2019s first daughter, Natalia, was three years old, Veronica began writing a poem for her. The poem, entitled \u201cThe Tale of the Nuff,\u201d was a reminder that she\u2019s perfect just the way she is and shouldn\u2019t be ashamed of being unique and different.<\/span>It took Veronica several years to finish her poem the way she wanted it, and it took a different shape as the little family\u2019s life changed. The Waldrops had another daughter, Nina, and Veronica was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer<\/a>. With cancer living in various places throughout her body, Veronica knew she had to get her affairs in order and decide what was truly important to spend the rest of her life on.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/The Nuff Book<\/span>\u201cIf I\u2019m not around, these girls will be okay. They\u2019ll be better than okay, because they will be the daughters of Will Waldrop,\u201d Veronica said.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/The Nuff Book<\/span>But as she came to grips with the possibility that she might not be around for much longer, Veronica realized that what she wanted most was for her poem to be turned into a book so that girls everywhere could receive the same message she\u2019d penned for her daughters: you are good enough<\/a> just the way God made you.<\/span>After Veronica\u2019s death in November of 2017, her husband, Will, went to work making sure his wife\u2019s last wish became a reality. Will and Veronica\u2019s daughters, now eight and four years old, will grow up remembering their mother through her children\u2019s book and celebrating the legacy she created for girls and young women around the world.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/The Nuff Book<\/span>\u201cThe stage of her journey during cancer was a tough one,\u201d says Will. \u201cIt shows a lot of strength, the resiliency, the legacy that she\u2019s leaving for our two little girls.\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/The Nuff Book<\/span>
\n<\/span>The finished book, called The Nuff<\/a><\/em>, features a beautiful but eccentric young unicorn going about her life being happy exactly as she is and knowing that she will always be \u201ca nuff,\u201d which is a play on the word \u201cenough.\u201d<\/span>\u201cThe message is that they are enough just the way that God made them,\u201d says Will. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing the impact not only with lots of little girls, but with girls and children everywhere.\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>
