Even Though You (or A Loved One) Suffer From SMA, Would You Change The Life You Have?

No wrong answer I'm just curious how others perceive this situation we are all in.

The one and only thing that I would change would be the fact that it took my husband at such a young age(47) very quickly and unexpectedly. I would have been very adamant about the doctors approach and p.t. and o.t. when we were younger . But other than that I absolutely cherished the life I had with him and I adored him,,sorry I still just adore him and am obsessed with him. Everything I have done and still do was and is for that amazingly beautiful man who is the strongest person I've ever had the privilege and honor of knowing and I was blessed extra and got to be the one he chose as HIS PERSON!!

Pretty much the same way I feel. I watch people take things for granted ( running and playing or simply standing to stretch. Etc.) While I was blessed to keep a lot of my abilities into my 30's, I know many who haven't. I really think when you live with suffering you are more receptive to others pain and more empathetic. But I know God has a plan for all of us.❤️

I am thankful for the life I have. No doubt a life without SMA would be amazing but after having it (SMA) my whole life I am not sure if I would be who I am without it. Would I be as observant to others who need help? Would I be the problem solving overcomer that I currently am? Granted I would love to have the strength I had as a child but as they say, wish in one hand and… well you get the idea. Lol.
