I have just returned from vacation and found this thread to be a true inspiration. Anthony...what you have done to help your brother through this illness is to be greatly commended. Sometimes, a selfless act like this one can do more than medicine to improve the healing process. Hope is something that can never be taken away by an illness. The fact that the phone call from Sig was arranged by some unknown angel is proof that the spirit can work wonders.
God bless you, your brother and your family....and, of course, our Sig.

Sig puts a whole new meaning to captain, He is a hero in so many ways! Now if the rest of the world can catch on and be like the guys of the northwestern the world would be a better place!

You're a very special person, as is your brother. Blessings to you and to Sig for arranging a very special moment for him; what a thrill that must have been for your brother to hear Capt. Sig's voice on the phone!

Welcome Anthony, and thank you for sharing your story! I have a friend whose little boy (age 2) has CF so your cause is close to my heart, but I never knew where the rose symbol came from so that was neat to learn. Best wishes to you and your brother.
