Remarkable Bloggers© Series Part 5

When I set out to select the Remarkable Bloggers © for this week, I was seriously not jazzed. I hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary this week, and truthfully, I was thinking that my mission to find someone truly Remarkable was a task too big. Maybe I had taken on too much. But, I was wrong. I actually ran into this blog, quite by accident. But, its no accident that these folks are Remarkable Bloggers©, they are Remarkable People. Patty Sue (Tricia), Nathan and Gwyneth Rose are a young family in North Carolina, facing odds that would put most of us in a tizzy. Patty Sue has Cystic Fibrosis, a disease that wages war on the lungs, she requires a double lung transplant to survive. Nathan, is her husband of a few years and Miss Gwyneth Rose came into this world in January of this year, 15 weeks early. I wouldn't do them justice trying to retell their story, so I'll just let Nate do it. (Please watch this video, you'll be amazed) [wpyt_profile2]tIjw9XBN1p8[/wpyt_profile2]

It’s been absolutely amazing to see the way that God has used our story through the blog to change so many people’s lives in so many different ways. I’ve had people comment and email that they’ve been inspired to stop smoking or are begin to exercise, hundred of people who have signed up to be organ donors (which means hundreds more lives will be improved and saved), mothers who spend more time with their kids, fathers who come home from work a little earlier to be with their families, couples who are focusing more on improving their relationships, children who are reconciling with their parents...it is just so encouraging to hear about how Tricia and Gwyneth are affecting people all over the world.

We’ve heard from hundreds of other people and families who have been affected by CF, Premature Birth and Organ Donation.

I’ve received emails and comments from every continent (except for Antarctica) and literally hundreds of countries all over the world.

 

 

There are actually a few blogs dedicated to these fine folks. But the two to focus on are Confessions of a CF Husband and 65Roses For Patty Sue . With all that these folks have been through, with all that they have yet to face, they still hold firm to their faith and love. They ARE truly Remarkable Bloggers©.

Editor's Note:

I don't usually ask that you all support a particular cause, but this one is special. A Trust Fund has been established to help with Tricia’s everyday medical needs as well as greater future needs that will come from her CF. You can donate to Patty Sue's Trust at her trust fund site or by downloading this form. You can also make donations to the CF Foundation through Nate's Page there.
