It’s no walk in the park having CF in our lives - and there have been a few ‘rainy days’ in the last 2+ years. But one thing I often reflect on is the ways that it has enriched our lives. I know that may sound odd to an outsider but it has truly made me appreciate everything we have so much more. It has made me slow down. It has made me more compassionate that I ever believed could be (I am a mega empath now). It has made us realise how much we can learn and grow in such a short space of time. And it has shown us how strong we are - and how we can get through the bad days. It has made me want to advocate for this condition and for all parent carers.
The grass is green over here for sure. And whilst I have many days I want to tell CF to f*** off, I do have to thank it for the change to my perspective of life.
Arlo - you have taught me so much - you were sent to us to water our grass (sounds a bit strange when you put it like that!) You have made our lives so much better!
