Hi little A,
Nice to know you!

With love!

Thank you kindly for your invitation Aryaka - Little A would love to visit you and your son some day  
All the best to your adorable little boy 

Sharmin and Little A

Hi little A,
My son don't know ice hockey because there has no snow in VietNam  . But he's intersted in football, hope you can teach him one day.
How's school going? Tell me and I'll tell to my son before asleep, the story of friend...and tell him that he has many friend side by side.
With love

Thank you Aryaka - I will have Little A post again very soon.  He does ask to read responses to his posts regularly, but with school and all of his activities he sometimes doesn't have time to post (he likes to take time choosing the perfect smilies for his posts ).  He seems to be doing very well, he will be playing the trombone in a school Christmas concert this afternoon so he is very excited.  He also has a hockey tournament this weekend.  School is going very well and he is excited about Christmas holidays.  Please give his greetings to your son - Little A would love to have him for a friend  . 

VenusMarz - Thank you kindly for your wishes - I think that little A is doing much better, but this would not be possible without the love and support we get on this site.  The advice I have gotten here is responsible for any progress that little A has made.  I wish your daughter all the best, my prayers are with her and your family.  I hope that your daughter is getting good vitamin supplements.  Please see the nutrition and supplements that are recommended on this site, they have made all the difference for Little A.  If you need any guidance please let me know and I will try to help you out

It has been 10 years since Little A was diagnosed with thalassemia major today.  Although we have had some difficult days, mostly
because of the antibodies, things have been much better than I could have imagined.  What these children are missing (red blood cells) has been gifted to them in so many other ways - compassion, generosity, wisdom, understanding, strength, courage, and patience.  We are so blessed to have these children in our lives.  I am very proud of my thal son and all of my thal friends on this site.

You Sharmin and little A are an inspiration to all of us. May the coming years be the time when we celebrate their cure.

Thank you kindly Manal,  I find myself being inspired by you, Zaini and all of my other friends here - I think we need a group hug   

Sharmin

Hey i am blushing 

The fact is,this site has totally changed my life,my approach towards thalassemia,now when ever i look at my daughter,i see an active healthy child,no thal around her ,i don't think she scn not achieve anything if she sets her mind.

And that' all because of you all guys 

Zaini.

 

Hi thalpals,

It is past little A's bedtime but he has a message for parents of newly diagnosed thals.  He wants to say that parents should not worry about their thal kids because life with thalassemia can be great.  Transfusions and chelation are not the torture that they sound like.  Little A wants to remind everyone to take care of themselves so that they can be stronger to enjoy their lives, he wants everyone to participate fully in life so that life will be more fun:)  He is reminding everyone to transfuse, chelate and take your supplements!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Everyone has challenges, and if we can teach our kids to overcome the challenges that come with thalassemia with courage and grace - all other challenges that they face in life will be a peace of cake:)  I think that little A handles thalassemia better than I do and I am still learning from him.  I pray that he grows up with this attitude and that he becomes a happy and healthy man.  We as a family are still learning - but we know what our goal is.  Have faith in yourselves moms and dads - and have faith in your little ones - Life can be great even with thal.  Maybe thal will teach us to live richer more meaningful lives. 

Take care everyone,

Sharmin and Little A

Little A and Sharmin,

You both are very right,life can be fun even with Thalassemia,and we can learn a lot from kids,they are so resilient ,my daughter never complains about thal anymore,i just pray that they grow up with the same attitude.

Love you,

Zaini.
