While replying to Hermit's blog, I got to thinking (I know, for me that can be dangerous), but seriously, life here can change so fast, that you sometimes don't tell people how much they mean to you until it's too late. I know that sounds cliche', but in "this" world, it's oh so true. I decided that I needed, really needed, to tell you all thankyou, and so I excerped a portion of my comment:
Thankyou, for accepting and embracing me into this "Otherworld", this alternate universe, that those of us impacted by CF must all make our way through! I too found this site while miserably wandering through the CF internet sites. My beautiful grandaughter had just been diagnosed, my daughter was in shock and denial, and so it was up to me to find out all I could about this disease. Of course, the more I found, the more I despaired. Then I found this site. I hovered for a little while, wanting to see who these people were that had to deal with this disease. I discovered people here who pulled on my heartstrings and I wanted to get to know them. You all are the most amazing people I have ever "not" met. I can't begin to name all of you who have impacted my life, but I think you know who you are. You get knocked down, but get back up, over and over. You have inspired me and given me hope. You have made me laugh, and made me cry. Now every day more people are added to this "crazy-quilt" of people.
I want to thank Christine for making me finally do this, as I have thought about it many times. I know this could've been a blog, but I truly wanted you all to know how much you mean to me. Thank you for making me a better person because you are all in my life.
