Well, I finished your book and I have to say it was a very emotional journey for me! I want to start by saying that you did an absolutely phenomenal job sharing your story and prove to be a very talented author. Although it saddened me I left with a sense of happiness. I could feel your passion with every turn of the p…age as I felt I was right there beside you, sharing your joy and sharing your pain. It provoked feelings that I knew I held, but have not yet been able to recognize or un-harbor. I felt deep sadness, remorse, guilt, joy and pride. As I read each chapter, I laughed and I cried. “””” With your amazing ability to share your knowledge and experiences, this book will serve as handbook to so many and will have a huge impact on the world of DMD. You’re making a difference Misty and I am extremely proud to be able to call myself your brother and the Luke’s uncle. Luke is such a remarkable young man that …has so much to give, not only to individuals with DMD, but everyone should take lesson’s form Luke. His determination, will, optimism, character and his overall outlook on life are values that everyone should learn from and implement. You two are without question the strongest individuals that I know and yes sis, you are my hero! Simply put… It was beautiful!
