    Thank you everyone for sharing your stories. I think that post was made in a moment of weakness. It happens right? I know that that happened to me for a reason so I can help others. I guess I just have to give life a shot and go for what I believe in...

    Becky told me that the cpr has to be through american heart, but I didn't see anything in the packet about that. Did they mention anything in the orientation about it? I have mine through the red cross so if I can get away with that for even just the...
