Beth,

We have lived in Gahanna for about five years now. It is a great place.

Your boyfriend would have graduated the year we moved here. Although we

didn't get here until August of that year ('98). The kids are very happy

here. You signed your name " No CF " . Does your boyfriend have CF? If so,

how is he doing?

Re: Not CF, but positive thoughts needed

Marcia,

All good thoughts heading your way. I hope everything goes well for

you, and goes well for Ben's upcoming surgery. This cancer stuff is

scary; I can't begin to imagine what you must be going through

waiting for tests and surgery.

On our end, yesterday I came home from work and found a notice that a

certified letter was waiting for me at the post office. This morning

I went to pick it up, all ready knowing what it was and dreading it,

but still, I wasn't prepared for how much it upset me. It was a copy

of Larry's death certificate. was with me because he was

mailing his portfolio to Oregon to apply for grad school. I didn't

tell him what letter I was picking up until after I'd already opened

it and sealed it into the envelope to send to the life insurance

company.

On the walk back from his apartment, I was just very bummed out that

this happened to Larry, that it was totally preventable if caught in

time, and again felt sad and guilty that years ago I didn't nag Larry

24/7 to get him to see a doctor. I know he wouldn't have listened no

matter what, and he readily admitted that several times before he

died, and he always regretted that his stubborness got in the way of

common sense.

But life goes on... is making plans to go to grad school,

is preparing now to go back to college (she stayed out last

semester and this current semester due to her dad's health). She's

changing her focus, wants to train to become a medical assistant. Go

figure, the kid whom I can't get to swallow a vitamin pill every day.

And for those who hadn't heard... I'm moving from Chicago to Phoenix

at the end of April. I'm getting married!

No he does not. I met him online because we share the same birthday

March 10th. I was searching the internet and came across this yahoo

group. I joined in Jan 2003 just to read a little about CF. I had

heard of it but wasn't really sure what it was. I ended up liking

the people here and felt the cause was worth supporting, even if its

just through educating myself. I have never met any one with the

disease as it's not that common. Well its common enough to have more

than one CF patient per hospital but is probably less common than my

brother's birth defect of Spina Bifida (1 per 1000 births?). Anyway,

this is actually one of my favorite groups on the internet and I

have read every post since I joined. I have learned about CF but I

have also learned about magnesium and a zillion other things.

Besides CF I also read journal updates of ill children through

Caringbridge personal websites. These children have cancer,

Fanconi's Anemia, Krabbe's disease etc....and many are/will be/have

been in hospital and needed bone marrow transplants.

So I keep lots of people in my special thoughts everyday.
