So today is my birthday...(19th April) and I am 19. Every year I dread my bday, I know we all do to some extent but I seriously hate it. On one hand its an achievement I know, on the other, I've lost my friends younger than that to CF and feel I should have gone a long time ago. So I know I need to keep going, for them aswell. I just want to not dread getting older, becoming more ill scares me a lot as I get older, I'm more tired than usual and takes longer to recover. I guess I gotta take each day as it comes.

Anyway there's my rant! I'm going to have a good day! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Okay, first off, I just want to say that I understand the pain of getting older with CF, esp. as you get sicker or if your friends are struggling/have passed on. Every bday is bittersweet, for sure.

That said, happy birthday, Hannah! And it's your "golden" birthday too (you are 19 on the 19th -- only happens once in your life). I hope that you can enjoy the day, and celebrate the huge accomplishment of living almost 20 years with cystic fibrosis! Yes, it can be tough getting older, but it's also beautiful to look CF right in the face and say "I made it another year, and you're not going to stop me from LOVING it!"

I hope 19 is everything you hope it will be, and here's to next year's rant about turning 20! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Happy Birthday!! Praying that this year is a good one for you and that you see the amazing gift that you have been given (even if and when it is hard). I can only imagine how tough your feelings are in relation to age, I can feel just a little of that fear of the unknown with each passing year in just five short years of fighting this disease. All I can say is hold on and look up for your strength. Have a blessed and joyful birthday today.
