Guest guest Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 I was diagnosed when I was in fifth grade and have just completed five years in college. My mother held me back from a lot of things that I really loved. I wish she hadn't but there is nothing I can do to change that now. Now I have been on my own for four, nearly five, years and I have done many things to challenge myself and my disease. I am winning all my challenges and that is helping me to overcome the past. If you do not tell your son when he does find out, and eventually he will. He will be angry at you for not telling him. On the reverse side if you do tell him don't do what my mother did. Don't hold him back because of the disease. Incourage him to do everything he can and to stay strong and healthy. My goal is to beat out my disease by continually exercising (in a gym or in everyday life), eating right (when I can afford it), and doing what I can to stay active and keep a positive outlook on life and the things to come. -- Cáelfind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
