“You are awesome.”
I’ve said it—again and again and again—but do you really know?
I watch you breathe; I watch you struggle to breath.
There are bricks on your chest—but you are awesome.
You got the news before you could even speak.
Cystic fibrosis—sixty five roses—sixty five years is a long shot.
Yet you fight; and you are awesome.
14day hospital stays every year.
3hours of breathing treatments and over 14 pills every day.
You are awesome—
You are strong
You are immovable
You are a fighter
I fell in love with that strength,
that immovability,
that fight.
Breath real deep, Shawnie.
You are awesome.
