Jeremy is 21 now. It's been a long 21 years, but worth it. Jeremy has given me purpose in life. I could go on for hours about the things he's done or the way he flips me out at times. Instead, this personal story is about the things I'm thankful for because of having Jeremy.
I'm thankful Jeremy had 3 older siblings to not only help me, but to help educate Jer on ordinary everyday living. Also for the good educators in Jer's life. Our church has helped us so much. They first helped Jer's siblings - they in turn helped Jeremy. I've learned how much 'these guys' can add to a person's life. myrna
Additional: After being diagnosed with mds, a doctor told me that eventually the ds cells take over the 'normal' cells, so just treat him like you have my other kids. I'm now 48. Jeremy is 21. It's been a long 21 years, but I feel God knew what was best for me. I've never regretted having Jeremy. Grieved yes. Hurt for him and what he has to go through, yes. Been pissed off at the lack of understanding of others, yes. But I've taught all my kids to survive, and we've done so so far!
