Thanks Mom & Dad

Growing up with CF, I was used to medicines and knew they were important for me to take regularly in order to stay healthy.  My parents instilled this in me at a young age, so I am thankful that I had knowledgeable and caring parents - without them I would not have grown up.  Now, that I'm an adult, it is my responsibility to take care of myself (although, they still check in regularly to make sure I'm doing what I'm supposed to!).

Unfortunately, there is a 3 year old little girl from West Virginia that did not have the same kind of parents that I did.  Therefore, she sadly passed away last December after her mother failed to take her to doctor appointments and provide her with the necessary medicine for survival. 

The link below is the result of the trial against the heartless mother:

May this sweet little girl rest in peace and breathe easy!

Thanks to my Mom & Dad (and step mom & dad) for always taking care of me!!  I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you guys!! Love you!!
