I was diagnosed with Sickle Cell at birth and was told I wouldn’t live passed 2 years old and if I did I wouldn’t have children. I will be 63 in Dec I have 4 children all healthy 9 grandchildren and 1 great grandson on the way. The heat bothers me and I live in Texas. Over all I’m healthy.

  1. That wonderful my mother was told I wouldn't live to see the age of 10 I am now 59 if God allows me to see tomorrow Oct the 18th and I am very thankful for every day I will celebrate my 5th year anniversary with a wonderful wife she is a God fearing woman who loves me and I love her

    1. It sounds like you and your wife are fortunate to have each other. How are you doing today? Wishing you a very happy (belated) birthday! Thinking of you and sending positive vibes your way. -Beth (Team Member)

  2. Beating those odds and building a loving family is truly inspiring.
