Grateful for different perspectives...

[Jane]

I don't have a blog (yet), but if it happens, this is a subject I might discuss:

After reading Tami's blog and the comments by Allie, something occurred to me that I'd never really considered before.

While we are all here together on this journey of life with CF, our reasons for being here are so very different, as is our perspectives on it. Certainly the stories of spouses who have lost their partners have touched me deeply and I can sympathize but I can't really understand how it is for them. Similarly, although I have children with CF, I don't really know what it is like to be the person living with CF and searching for treatments or suffering with illness. The ones looking for partners, the parents, the ones wanting a child, the ones who are very ill or recovering all have stories that offer so much to the rest of us. What a gift we have here.

It has been one month today that I found this site. It has given me opportunity to laugh and cry. It has encouraged me and scared the sh*t out of me too. It has opened my eyes.

Thanks everyone.

Nicely put Jane.

I have disagreed with a few people on this site before, but it is always nice to hear everyones opinions.

I look forward to coming to this site on a daily basis and see how everyone is doing.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Very true. We may not agree with someone today on an topic or issue but one day we might face a similar avenue and reading about others will only help to enlighten our future experiences.

We all do have a gift, we all have known from a very young age that our life has been cut short. I know that i have done a lot with my 23 years, and I know a lot of you have too. We all deal differently, but it has made all of us strong.
Here's to living life to the fullest!

I agree. Different perspectives are a good thing. This is a wonderful site. Welcoming and supportive.

I hope it is understood that I did not mean any disrespect to Lisa and her situation. I certainly sympathize with her loss. I'll be thinking of her all spring while the irses bloom.
