Thank you SO much Frank for your kind words, I really appreciate them and they mean a lot!

I guess having this disease has made me grow up a h*ll of a lot and I probably realise things that most other teenagers my age wont know because of having this horrible illness!! I honestly don't think though that I would have gotten through it all without all of you guys - you are all the best friends anyone could ever wish for and cheer me up on my bad days and I could never thank you enough for that!!

You are so right - it doesn't matter what illness we suffer from, we are all in this together and have one thing in common - we all understand what everyone is going through and want to try and give support in anyway we can!

Thanks again for your kind words - they mean a lot to both me and my mum!!

i admire all of you for what you all have to contend with each and every day ... would my resolve be as strong as ya'lls is ... i don't know ... would i be as optimistic ... again i just don't know ... what i do know is that each day i come here and read what you have posted and am always amazed ... you all are friendly, supportive, have a great sense of humor, and haven't forgotten how to laugh ... you all hug each other and lift each other up when down ... to me you all are winners
