As I’ve said multiple times on this blog, we have such a tendency to focus on everything that a disability takes away that we lose sight of all that is still possible. Come on, people! This is the 21st century, where there are incredible opportunities and advancements in medicine and technology that allow people with disabilities to live “normal”, productive and very active lives! Just ask Cody – it’s amazing what you can accomplish when you stop focusing on the negative and think big:

I was blessed to witness a 5 year-old double leg amputee, like Cody, win big at my son’s karate tournament. He kicked butt!
Dear Chelsea,
Followed a link (I think from CMR) and found you! I just began a blog for parents of children with cystic fibrosis to see that life is Life, even with (and I would argue, especially with, a disability). My son is now 16 and I’ll be showing him your blog here when he gets home. We’re Catholic converts, as well, and I’m looking forward to the early hours of tomorrow morning when I can read, read, read your words . . .
Warmly,
Allison Howell
