I Wish I Had What You Have

First day teaching with kids today! I've lost 80+ pounds since most of the students saw me last year and there reactions were extreme.There was a lot of verbalization of disbelief and some random staring and pointing, it all made me a little uncomfortable so i ignored most of the antics. A few asked what happened to me and I explained that I had been sick.

More then one student responded with, "I wish I had what you had Mr. Crump".

No you don't!!! 

One very nice young man asked me how I was, he asked me what I had, what it was called, and if I was going to be okay. I told him I'm not sure how its all going to turn out but I have a great team of doctors who really understand my disease and are knowledgeable about how to treat it.

Maybe if I say it enough time I will start to believe it.  

Great kid though. His parents should be proud. I hope my son grows up to be a caring and sensitive young man like that.
