Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 To all the Orlando "meeters": glad to meet you all. To see how you can live with this disease - with humor, and grace and hope - is an inspiration. ;* <3 Barbara McD IPF, Sept 08 Beautiful Western NC Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

NasturtiumsDon't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! Orlando trip Hi everyone, Sitting here in my hotel room in Walterboro, SC reviewing the weekend in my mind. It seems to be the same everytime I meet someone from this group in person. Regardless of who it is and how little we may have in common, meeting someone with this disease is like finding a long lost sibling. It's an incredible experience. I have two regrets about this weekend, one that my crappy camera doesn't take better pictures. (At least I have the little videos, especially the one from Olive Garden where Peggy's daughter filmed the entire group. Those videos are at www.youtube. com/mbmurtha) The other regret is that there is never enough time to sit and talk with everyone. I was so happy to meet newer members...like , Barbara, Sandy, Eileen etc etc etc. If start naming names I'm going to get in trouble I don't want my oxygen deprived brain to forget someone. And of course I was happy to see old friends like Peggy, Leanne and Jane. Peggy's "SuperCaregiver" husband and her daughter Theresa were with us also as was Jane's sweetheart of a daughter . I honestly feel as though my family expands everytime I go to one of these things and I'm grateful for that. This group is one of the blessings of this horrible disease. It's not a small blessing either. You all make this bearable for me and I thank you all for that. Here's to the next get together!
