he makes everyone laugh
he studies hard
he gives back to the community as much as he can

10 things I hate about Doug
he tries to do everything for himself first
he's always sure he's right
he mimics me
he doesn't answer my text messages, late at night out on the town
he doesn't call out to me in the night as much as he needs to
he was born at the wrong time, missing out on early intervention and a little more strength
he stays up too late at night watching SBS
he's too proud to wear his chest harness or orthotics in the light of day
he never wants to do his stretches and exercises
he never asks for a cure for Duchenne
10 hopes I have for Doug
he finds another girlfriend
he gets to be 30 or 40yrs old
he writes a play and performs it or directs it
he doesn't get any weaker
he never has another chest infection
he wants to travel a little
his unborn nieces and nephews get to know him
he stays upbeat
he keeps ignoring my text messages late at night
he buries me first
WIth apologies to Doug (where else was I going to get 20yrs worth of photos) this video story (below) is the story of countless youths who didn't make it as far as Doug.
