We are happy to share with you our DBA Family’s personal story. Please note the medical information may not be entirely accurate and should not be used for diagnosis or treatment options.
By Deborah L. Shelton. Chicago Tribune.
Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow. Just because you have a warning doesn’t make you different than anyone else. It doesn’t make a difference in how you live each day.
I am here. I am in the present tense. I’m not always here, and sometimes here is a very difficult place. Sometimes it is a labyrinth, or a Minotaur, or a rope I can neither let go of nor follow. It’s hard to find the right words, but I guess I would say that it’s something like feeling the floor. And that it is my privilege to feel it. -Meg Howrey
Having DBA has taught me to not give up the fight and to do the best that I can. The DBAF has become more than just a source of friends and knowledge, but a family of support through the bad and the good.
Good things come in small packages! I may be little, but I’m a fighter – DBA… no contest.
DBA has forever changed our lives, but we will persevere until we find a cure.
DBA is hard but it’s my child’s life. I have to teach him how to live life with it. I will advocate and help find a cure. The DBAF is helping us improve his life.
