My Parents

Now I would like to take the opportunity to introduce you too my parents.  The people I owe my life too!  And not just because they gave birth to me! 

They have been there for me every step through my diagnosis and recovery, and still now!  Their the greatest!

I truly feel that I would not be alive here today if it wasn't for them.  Growing up I always was embarrasses at how them seemed to question everything.  

Well, when I was diagnosed with my craniopharyngioma (A tumor located on the Pituitary Gland) and was sent to a neurologist.  The doctor immediately come in and gave us a grim prognosis.  This was very surprising to all of us.  But my dad was right there to ask, "Well Dr., If this was your son or daughter, and I was to do the surgery, of course having the exact same abilities as you, would you feel comfortable me performing the surgery with your skills on your son or daughter?"  He seemed taken aback by this question, and was kind of stunned for a minute, and eventually responded, "Well, No.  I would seek out a professional!"  It was at that point that my parents dedicated the rest of their lives to me.   To read more on my surgery, visit my page entitled My Surgery.

For these reasons and many more, I know that I truly have the best parents of the world.  Every year when it comes time Mothers and Fathers Day, I always nominate them for the Mother/Father of the year.  They've never won, but should have!
