Part of Conversation with Dr. January at First Appointment

Me (kind of tearily): Ever since I got the genetic testing back, I've been so worried that I've given my son, this active, hiking-all-the-time kid, some crappy disease.

Him (kindly, but very firmly): Hold it right there. You didn't give him anything. If he's smart and good looking, you didn't give him that, and you didn't give him this. It's the luck of the draw. If you have some kind of original sin or guilt, you need to take those issues somewhere else to deal with.

It was exactly what I needed to hear, and my husband and I burst out laughing.
