Welcome

Hi, got a rookie here.  Chugga is my nickname and Chuggaworldwide was my 1st email address which was made overseas, hence the worldwide.  I was born in 75 which means that at the time of creating this blog I am 37.  Grew up just south of Minneapolis and but have been living in Iceland the past few years.  Got here because of past employment, met my Rut here and blah, blah, blah.  I have three children Thor (10), Helena (8) and Emilia (6).   Life threw me a big curve ball when both of my daughters were born with a rare mitochondria disease.  This disease makes them 100% dependent on my wife and I for every single need of theirs, from eating, dressing, to all movements.  Our house, vehicle have all had to be built to handle two wheelchairs.  Not sure what their level of comprehension is but I do know that they are surrounded by love, warmth, and safety and I know that they can comprehend that because of their laughs and smiles.  I feel most bad for my son to have to endure this but I know it will make him a better man when he is older.  Just because life threw me a curve ball doesn´t mean that I did not knock the crap out of it.  There is not a day that goes by that I do not take for granted, from walking and talking to being able to express myself through my actions.
