AWESOME RONNIE!!! You couldn't have said it better...as a CF patient...I always tell people the #1 reason I am alive today & have the attitude I do towards CF is 100% because of my parents. I have 3 sisters & they didn't treat any different than they treated them. I have seen the opposite as well...too many times to count...it always angers me when I encounter a CFer with the "woo is me" attitude. I just want to shake their parents...thank you Ronnie!!! Such an important message to needs to be out there & given to every new CF parent.....PLEASE GIVE YOUR CHILD THE LIFE THEY DESERVE & TEACH THEM THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT....CF DOESN'T HAVE TO STOP THEM OR YOU FROM HOPING & EXPECTING ALL THAT LIFE CAN GIVE YOU....AS LONG AS YOU ALLOW THEM TO GIVE LIFE ALL THEY HAVE & MORE!!!! I admire ALL parents who have a child with CF....you are some of the strongest people I have ever known....and my mom & dad are at the top of that list!!!! You & Mandi are amazing people & I'm so glad I found you....when I'm having a bad day...I log in here to remind me I'm not alone in this fight!!!
