A Happy (and more importantly, HEALTHY) New Year to ALL on this list!

Here on the East Coast (in the U.S.A.) we're just over an hour away from

saying good-bye to 2002 and hello to 2003 and all I can think about is how

very fortunate I have been this past year to have such an amazing group of

friends on this list that (fairly) anonomously give me and my family reason

to remain on the positive side of the fence with regards to my son Jack, now

almost 21 months old with CF. It feel so VERY good to feel optimistic at

last!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that once the ball drops (the ritual in Times Square, and Thank

Heavens I'm NOT there; with the sealed-up post boxes and manhole-covers),

I'll turn off the lights, take off my slippers, creep upstairs to my Son's

room, and cry tears of thanks on him for our fortune in finding this group.

At last, the glass that holds my family's water is NO longer half-empty, and

it's NOT even half-full....IT IS brimming over with optimism and knowledge,

for which I thank you all!!!

Respectfully and peacefully yours,

Paige, Quinn and Jack (almost 21 months old with CF)

ride. She was hospitalized twice in her first year, hospitalization was

within nine weeks of each other. It is hard on the 6 year old. He asks 101

questions, and I just answer them as well as I can. At times it is very

heartbreaking. Thanks for the e-mail. Please keep in touch.
