To All The Members Of This Special Family,

The greatest impact this forum has had on my 12 year old daughter

is knowing that there REALLY ARE others who share this

condition. (I don't think she ever truly believed me...)

It was so comforting to see her reaction after I read her a few

stories and showed her some photos. " WOW!!!!! " was all she could say,

with eyes wide open and mouth agape, as she realized that she is no

longer alone.

Thanks to everyone for making this possible!
