Queens Courier, By Jessica Lyons
We are not the first to say this and we will not be the last, the DBAF has saved our child’s life. I cringe at the thought of what her care would be had we not met the DBAF.
We hope for an easier life, until then we are grateful for each day together.
Same journey, different paths. Bound together by the same heartaches, triumphs, and hope for a cure. That’s DBA Family!
Sometimes I feel like the odd one out, restricted by DBA. I just have to keep reminding myself that God wouldn’t bless me with this challenge if He didn’t think I could handle it. I don’t let DBA define me, I try to defy DBA.
DBA is a part of who I am… it does not define me nor will it stand in the way of my hopes and dreams.
It is the tough things I have gone through with DBA that has made me the man I am.
We are hopeful that a cure will be discovered soon so that our son doesn’t have to endure pokes and disruptions and can feel good all the time – isn’t that what every child deserves?
