You are exceptional and blessed at being able to do this quite well. One of my sons is asthmatic and had many difficult moments growing up -- it took a long time and living in Germany to get his medication right. Now he is 31 and strong and healthy with only occasional need of his inhaler.The Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976467218216864644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195629195750583833.post-19276408309801579842011-06-20T16:50:49.694-05:002011-06-20T16:50:49.694-05:00A great story.

I love the fact you received a certificate for perfect attendance and a bracelet and, in the fifth grade, you were voted 'smart'.

So you'd seem to have a few volumes left in you.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Phil KraskeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195629195750583833.post-2469438874340883502011-06-18T14:13:40.371-05:002011-06-18T14:13:40.371-05:00"Dummy" isn't in the realm of possib..."Dummy" isn't in the realm of possible adjectives to describe you, Dee. Sagacity, borne from trials and tribulations, is more fitting; fathomless compassion, inextricably linked to your innate character, is another apt description have you; present – Buddha-like wakefulness – is yet another.<br /><br />Thank God for your mother, for Sister Corita, and for a little girl's will to live; for without them, those of us whose lives have been enriched by having known you would be all the poorer.<br /><br />WayneWaynenoreply@blogger.com
