Awesome Little Girl
This story is about my Godchild Jennifer. You might be saying what does this have to do with abortion? The answer is simple today children like Jennifer would be aborted in most cases.I ask should they be aborted. When I wrote this story Jennifer was only 12 she is now 21 and the legend continues…. September was Cystic Fibrosis month.
Awesome referring to the dictionary meaning, is respect combined with fear or wonder. This is the most descriptive adjective that best describes my Godchild Jennifer.
Jennifer was born with Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is the number one genetic killer of young people. It is a lung and digestive disease. People having this disease have thick mucus, which breeds infections in the lungs, and the mucus also makes it hard to digest their food. Average life expectancy is twenty-one years of age. There is no cure.
My composition is about why I think Jennifer is so awesome. In doing so, I will break down the dictionary meaning of awesome and tell you how it relates to Jennifer.
Respect: Jennifer is only twelve years old and is dealing with this deadly disease very well. When she plays sports such as soccer. This disease steals her breath away yet she does her best, won’t quit and does not complain. Her physical therapy is painful and so is the continuous coughing. During a camping trip with Jennifer and her parents, Jennifer was coughing and her parents asked, “Are you OK?” Jennifer answered back saying, “Yes. I am supposed to cough, I have Cystic Fibrosis. Please don’t worry. I am OK.”
As with any child with this disease Jennifer spends a great deal of time in the Hospital. Many of the friends she has made in the hospital have died of Cystic Fibrosis. She had to deal with that. She spends little time in her hospital room and a great deal of time with younger children suffering with the same disease or other conditions. She is a fine example of courage for these children.
Jennifer wants to be a nurse when she gets older because she says she likes to help people. This is another quality I love about her. She also raises money for Muscular Dystrophy and on Saturday’s volunteers at a Cancer Care Store For all these reasons and much more, Jennifer has earned my respect and also the respect of everyone she comes in contact with.
Fear: Jennifer has none, but I do to know this little girl has such a terrible disease scares the hell out of me. Jennifer will never let you know she is feeling bad I have spoken to other parents of Cystic Fibrosis Children and they say this is their way of protecting the ones they love. I am scared to know Jennifer is going through this and trying to handle it all by herself. I know her parents and friends love her and want to help her but Jennifer deals with her feelings about the disease by herself. These are some of my fears.
Wonder: How can a girl of twelve do so many wonderful things when she suffers with such a terrible disease? Where does she get her courage? How can I help her? I often wonder about these questions and may not always have the answer to them.
There is one question I had at the beginning of this composition and that is “What is the meaning of awesome?” I can honestly answer this question by saying Jennifer is the best way I can describe Awesome.
Update Jennifer is now twenty attending nursing school. She started a local chapter of the Lynous Project which collects blankets giving them to the homeless and to children in hospitals (note many have a special message or design embroidered on them by Jen) She has collected and given away thousands of them. Truly Awesome.
Now, that you have read Jen’s story. I hope you can see how special life is. Fear destroys life. A President once said “We have nothing to fear but fear itself” I believe fear is one of the biggest reasons for having an abortion” Fear of accepting responsibility for our own actions. Jen now walks with a tank of oxygen when she goes out she has no fear. So think of Jen when Fear pops into your head and think of all the good she has done with her life because a child that might be aborted might one that could do so much good. If you have some extra cash donate it this month to The National Cystic Fibrosis Foundation mark your check for research for a cure.
On September 11, 2004 Jen died at St Vincent’s Hospital in N.Y. She was 24. Before she died she was volunteering at Home for Babies with AIDS and who were addicted to drugs in Hudson County NJ.
Thank you JP
