A TIMELY REMINDER & ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE TO SHARE...
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 1:18 pm
....My 40 yr old son is an Adult Survivor of Congenital Rubella Syndrome[German Measles my 1st Trimester of pregnancy]...(many anomalies surgically corrected by age 18). I recently found a web site of information for Adult Survivors of CRS and found a list of late in life onset of medical conditions that are staggering to say the least. I feel moved to share a perspective on survival from one of the members of his Survival Group...it touched me:
"I suppose if we were aborted, we would have not known any different. However, with all its pains and sufferings, it is still worth moments of glory to experience life. We can count our blessings to have seen the world, animal life, people, friends, flowers, sunsets, sun rises, clouds, mountains, the moon and stars and sun. We ought to be thankful even though our lives are not perfect. Dealing with the CRS curve-balls I suppose is what makes us stronger. Keep forging through it all, my friend, and for all others dealing with CRS.
"
It appears this Group of Brave Adults live a "Parallel Journey" of new Issues like us OBPI-er's.
