Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Gordon. Welcome to the air family and I applaud you on your courage to join us. Yes, our Vicky is an amazing person. She has shared many ups and downs in her journey'with PF. She has been clearly honest and so very strong in her convictions. Her words are an education for all of us and hopefully they will help all of us in our own travels with this miserable disease. I wish her a painfree time now and all my prayers are added to the many here already .. Z fibriotic NSIP/05 Z 64, fibriotic NSIP/o5/PA And “mild” PH/10/07 and Reynaud’s too!! No, NSIP was not self-inflicted…I never smoked!

I want to let you know how very saddened, but paradoxically also encouraged I feel by your sharing and best wishes. I was recently diagnosed with IPF, which was confirmed by biopsy this week. I have been reading the group's posts for a few weeks, which has been an excellent source for information, as well as incredible nurturing. I have been so impressed with the sensitivity, caring, helpful bits of information (medical and personal), and loving support so readily, genuinely, and unselfishly made available from and to all the members of this magnificent group. However, it was not until your health status update, that I was able to admit that I am one of you (not just a "curious" visitor) and be willing to cross the line to become a participating member. Your dignity, acceptance, and graciousness in sharing your self is inspirational and reminded me of my mother who died 17 years ago from COLD. Her continued guidance, by her behavior and attitude, in not only how to live life, but just as importantly how to die as part of the life process, has been instrumental in my appreciating what life has offered me and not being afraid of my own mortality. This memory and the courage to actually "join" this group are the gifts you have given me. Thank you! May God continue to support you in your journey. Love, G.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 These words have brought me comfort many times, I'd like to share them again, if I may...... We are standing on a shore..........somewhere A ship before us spreads her white sails and starts for the blue ocean. She is a beautiful and a strong ship. We watch her until she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and the sky come together to mingle with one another. Then, someone at our side says "there, well.....she's gone". But gone where? From our sight, that's all. She is just as large in mast and spar as when she left our shore, just as strong and able. Her diminished size is in us, not in her. While someone at our side is saying "she's gone", there are other eyes watching her coming and ready to take up the glad shout, "look, there she comes".
