A girl, once labeled “wolf girl” and “monkey face” by her peers, knew that her condition wouldn’t stop her from finding happiness. Eventually, she discovered the love of her life, and her story reveals the profound impact it had on her life.
Supatra “Natty” Sasuphan, once dubbed the world’s hairiest girl, faced ridicule and fear from her classmates due to her unique appearance.

On August 5, 1999, something important happened in Supatra’s family. Usually, when a new baby is born, parents feel really happy and excited. That’s how Supatra’s mom and dad, Sompon and Samrerng, felt when she was born.
But their happiness was mixed with surprise, fear, and disbelief because the doctortold them their baby had a lot of hair. At first, they thought it was normal, but when they saw her in the incubator, they were shocked by how much hair she had. Supatra’s hair covered almost her whole body, and even the doctors in Thailand had never seen someone like her.
Later on, doctors figured out that Natty had a very rare skin disease called Ambras syndrome. This condition is so uncommon that there have only been 50 cases like hers documented in the world since a long time ago.
Ambras syndrome causes excess body hair growth, sparing only the palms, soles, and mouth interior, likely due to a sudden DNA change.

When Natty was born, and her mom wanted to leave the hospital, the doctors didn’t want to let her go because they were worried she might leave her child behind. Sompon told the doctor that she would never abandon her child, no matter what. She said, “We are lucky that she was born into our family.”
Natty grew up in a loving family, but not everyone was understanding of her condition, and she had to deal with some unkindness from strangers and peers.

As Natty grew up, her face remained hidden behind thick hair due to her incurable Ambras syndrome. Regular methods like laser removal couldn’t slow down her hair growth. At school, she faced ridicule because of her unique appearance. Kids called her names like “wolf girl” and “monkey face.”
Natty, however, didn’t understand why they teased her, as she considered herself a normal girl with just a bit more hair. She stated, “It’s the way I am.”

Natty’s teacher, Kuljira Posaeng, revealed that other kids were initially scared of Natty’s appearance, making her early school days difficult. Over time, though, Natty proved she was just like any other student. Teachers described her as hardworking with good grades, and she eventually became one of the most popular kids at school.

Natty’s teachers said she was a lively girl who loved to sing, dance, and act. Her parents treated her just like any other kid, and they never made her feel like she was less important. They took her everywhere and weren’t embarrassed that she looked different from other children.
Later on, Natty found her love.

Natty has come to terms with her condition, understanding that there’s no cure for it. She decided to keep her body hair the way it naturally grew from the time she was born, only shaving her face when she became a teenager. As she grew older, her self-esteem and self-image became more important to her, and she also found love.
She shared: “It began from friendship, then we became a couple.” Their conversations brought her happiness, and being together was comfortable, with a love she didn’t anticipate: “It was a kind of love that I didn’t expect would happen to me.”
Natty later married her boyfriend, calling him “the love of my life.”

She also posted pictures with her lover, showing her face without facial hair. Some people thought she might have been cured, but her dad explained that she had chosen to shave her facial hair to reveal her new look. Now, her eyes, face, mouth, lips, and cheeks are visible, with only her forehead covered by her head’s hair.
Natty, who has found love and happiness, is determined to lead a positive life and continue making a beautiful impact on society. She believes that everyone is beautiful and unique in their own way, and she wants to inspire others to embrace their individuality and radiate their inner beauty.

My Grandson Visited Me on National Grandma’s Day — What He Prepared for Me This Time Made Me Go Pale

When my grandson walked through my door on National Grandma’s Day, I expected tulips or chocolates. Instead, he brought something that made my heart race — and not in a good way. What he asked of me left me frozen, but what came next was something I’ll never forget.
They say you can feel it in your bones when something’s about to change, and let me tell you — I felt it that day.
It started like every other National Grandma’s Day, the one day I hold closer to my heart than my own birthday. My grandson, Jordan, has always made it special. Ever since he was a boy, he’s been my little ray of sunshine, showing up with chocolates, tulips, or just those three words that mean the world to me: “I love you, Grandma.”
But this year felt… off.

I’m Teresa, by the way. I’m 60 years old, widowed, and I live alone in the apartment my late husband, Walter, and I bought back in our early days. It’s not much, but it’s home. It holds memories, creaky floorboards and all. And Jordan, bless his heart, has been my greatest comfort since Walter passed five years ago.
I woke up that day, feeling that familiar buzz of excitement. I brewed my tea and sat by the window, keeping an eye on the street below.
Jordan is 22 now, but he’s never been late on Grandma’s Day. Never.
Yet by 10:10 a.m., my tea had gone cold, and the quiet in my apartment felt heavier than usual.

“Where are you, my sweet boy?” I whispered to myself, my trembling fingers tracing the delicate china cup. Memories of Jordan’s childhood danced before my eyes — his first steps, his laughter echoing through these walls, and the way he’d curl up next to me during storytime.
Each memory felt like a knife twisting in my heart as the minutes ticked by.
I tried not to let my mind wander too far. Jordan has his own life, of course — a job, friends, all the things young people juggle. But I couldn’t shake the uneasiness and nagging thought that something was different. I kept telling myself, “Don’t be silly, Teresa. He’ll be here.”
My hands began to shake slightly. Was it anxiety? Or something deeper, something my heart was trying to warn me about?

And then, around 11 a.m., just as I was refilling my tea, I heard the key turn in the lock. My heart skipped a beat.
“Jordan?” I called out, relief washing over me.
When the door opened, though, he didn’t look like himself. His smile was gone, replaced by a tightness in his jaw. He wasn’t carrying flowers or chocolates. He was holding something behind his back, and his eyes darted away from mine.

“Oh, my Jordan,” I breathed, sensing something was terribly wrong. “What’s happened to you?”
“Grandma,” he said, his voice low and unsteady, “do you think all these years I’ve been giving you gifts for nothing?”
I felt a chill run down my spine. Something in his tone was so unlike the Jordan I knew. This wasn’t my loving grandson. This was a stranger.
“What?” I gasped.

He stepped further into the room, still holding whatever it was behind his back. “It’s time to repay for them,” he said quietly.
Tears welled up in my eyes. The warmth of our past birthdays and the love we shared felt like a distant dream now. What could have changed so dramatically?
“Repay?” I repeated, my voice trembling now. “Jordan, what are you talking about?”
His hand shook slightly as he pulled a folder from behind his back and placed it on the table between us. “Just… look at it,” he said, avoiding my eyes.

The silence between us was deafening, thick with unspoken pain and impending revelation.
I stared at the folder like it was some kind of foreign object, something that didn’t belong in my home. My chest felt tight, and I could barely get the words out.
“Oh, my sweet boy, what have you done?” The words trembled inside me.
“What is this, Jordan?” I asked.
“Just… open it, Grandma,” he said, still not looking at me.
With shaking hands, I flipped it open. Papers. Legal ones. My stomach churned as I scanned the top line: Transfer of Property Ownership.

Tears welled up unexpectedly. These weren’t just papers. These were the death warrant of memories… of Walter, of our life together.
“Jordan,” I whispered, my voice breaking, “what’s going on here?”
He finally looked at me then, his face brimming with guilt and determination. Tears glistened at the corners of his eyes. “Grandma, it’s time for you to move out of this apartment,” he said.
I blinked, unsure if I’d heard him right. “Move out? This is my home, Jordan. Why would I leave?”

“Because you deserve better,” he said, his tone firm but his voice cracking slightly. “This place is falling apart. The maintenance is a nightmare. You’re always telling me how hard it is to keep up with everything here.”
My heart ached. Not from the suggestion of moving, but from the pain I saw in my grandson’s eyes.
“I’ve found a better place for you,” he continued, his voice softer now, almost pleading. “A little house. It’s got everything you need. A garden, privacy, space. It’s closer to me, too. You’ll be happier there. I promise.”

The room felt like it was closing in around me. My home — the one Walter and I had built our life in — how could I just leave it behind? Every creaky floorboard, every faded photograph was a testament to our love.
“Jordan, honey, this isn’t about the apartment, is it? What’s really going on?”
He sighed, running a hand through his hair, a gesture so reminiscent of his grandfather that it made my heart ache. “Grandma, I’ve been watching you,” he admitted. “You’re not happy here. You don’t say it, but I can see it. I just want you to have a fresh start. Somewhere peaceful.”
I opened my mouth to say something, but he handed me his phone before I could say a word.
“Look,” he said, his voice breaking. “Just look.”

I glanced at the screen. It was a photo of a house. It was a small, cozy one with a white picket fence and a garden bursting with flowers. The kind of place you see on postcards.
“This is it,” he said softly, a tear rolling down his cheek. “It’s yours. I’ve already arranged everything.”
I stared at the phone, the picture blurring as tears welled up in my eyes.
The house looked almost too perfect like a dream carefully constructed to heal wounds I didn’t even know were bleeding.
“Jordan,” I whispered, my voice catching, “you did this… for me?”
“Of course,” he said, his voice trembling with an intensity that spoke volumes. “You’ve done everything for me, Grandma. You raised me when Mom and Dad couldn’t. You gave me love, stability, everything. This is the least I can do for you.”

My heart was a storm of emotions. And my chest tightened as the memories flooded back — his little hands clutching mine as a boy, his laughter filling this very apartment, and the way he’d always called me his “favorite person.”
“But this is my home,” I said, my voice barely audible, almost a plea. “It’s where I have all my memories of Walter. Of you growing up.”
“I know,” he said, kneeling in front of me now, his eyes pleading. “But those memories don’t live in the walls, Grandma. They’re in your heart. And they’ll go with you wherever you go.”
I couldn’t stop the tears from spilling over. Each droplet carried years of love, loss, and unspoken fears.
“I just… I don’t know if I can leave it behind,” I admitted, my voice breaking like fragile glass.

Jordan reached for my hand, holding it tightly — a gesture that transported me back to countless moments of comfort he’d given me over the years.
“You don’t have to decide right now,” he said gently. “But I need you to know that this isn’t about repaying me for anything. It’s about making sure you’re safe. And happy. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.”
A million questions danced behind my eyes, unasked and unspoken.
“I just want you to be okay, Grandma,” he said softly, his voice trembling as a single tear slid down his cheek. “Please, let me do this for you. I promise I’ll renovate the apartment, make it even better, so you can visit anytime you want. It’s not going anywhere… I’ll make sure of that.”

Two weeks later, I stood in the middle of the little house Jordan had shown me. The garden was even more beautiful in person, with roses and daisies blooming in every corner. The air smelled like fresh earth and sunlight.
“Walter would have loved this,” I thought, a bittersweet smile playing on my lips.
Jordan was beside me, grinning like a kid who’d just won a prize.
“Well, do you like it?” he asked, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
I took a deep breath, letting the moment sink in. The sunlight streaming through the windows felt like a gentle embrace, warming my soul.
“It’s perfect,” I said. Each word carried the weight of letting go and embracing something new, something I never thought I could.

Jordan pulled me into a hug, holding me tightly, the warmth of his embrace grounding me. “I knew you’d love it,” he said, his smile soft and full of relief.
And he was right.
I never imagined leaving the apartment Walter and I had shared for so many years, the place where so many memories lived. But as I stood in my new little house, surrounded by the most beautiful garden and the love that Jordan poured into this gift, I understood something deeply: Home isn’t about the walls or the rooms. It’s about the people who make you feel safe, valued, and loved.
Jordan had given me that — a chance to start fresh while holding onto everything that truly mattered.

What I thought was a heartbreaking moment turned into one of the greatest surprises of my life, and it reminded me of something important — Family isn’t just about taking care of each other; it’s about helping each other live the best life possible, even if it means making sacrifices along the way.
I’ll never forget how Jordan made me feel that day, especially on National Grandma’s Day. He made me feel more loved, more appreciated, and more hopeful than ever.
