well im so happy today the results of my test are in, i do not carry the gene for cystic fribrosis.Its reslly great,i do not have to get my boyfriend tested nor my children and im free to become pregnant. with this weight off my shoulders i feel free.I do still feel sorry for my sister and father,nephews.My father only finding out he carried the defective gene after Joshua was born,my nephews who have a great chance of being carriers because my sister is and will need to test prospective partners for their peace of mind too. But i wont hide the joy that i feel to know that i can start a new day with my plans able to continue. I also just want to comment on the death of steve irwin, feeling saddend but also guilty as I always thought Steve was a bit goofy. thw weird words he would come out with and the "CRIKEY" catch phraze we all knew him for,but more than an icon and crocodile hunter...he was a dedicated father, loving husband and a son to australia Im taking this opportunity to tell of the personi most admire...its my pop.He suffered hard ships in his life,poverty,sickness,unemplyment and deafness.Through all this he found the love of poetry which i inhereted a love for. He gave all he could and showed all us grandkids love and affection always.even though he sometimes had trouble hearing us we showed our love with smiles and hugs.Why not hug someone you love today.
