Today is my twin sisters' 51st birthday. However, it is bittersweet as the youngest twin, Belinda, died before she could turn 50. Celebrating the birth of my baby sisters is so very important - I remember that day they were born very well. But for a few moments during this day I am sad...sad that Belinda died too young, sad that I didn't do something, sad that her whole family misses her every day, sad that I didn't tell her how much I loved her more often.
I guess the bottom line of this post is - we are not promised tomorrow, only this moment. Spend that moment well with people who you love and who love you. Make peace with family and ask God to forgive you even if you can't forgive others.
My wonderful husband of 15 years was diagnosed with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency in 2006. The news was devastating but some how we managed to get beyond the initial shock! We hope this blog will be useful and informative for others who may not know they have Alpha-1 or have been recently diagnosed. While also showing that life can go on in a relatively normal fashion. Research is making progress and there is hope. We are truly blessed with 5 children, 18 grandchildren, and one loving family.
