The Fam
I am a 38 year male with cystic fibrosis who recently underwent a double lung transplant meanwhile my mom was recently diagnosed with a very aggressive and unusual nasal cancer. This blog reflects my views on God, life, and the world as I approach and endure a major life event. Click on picture for additional introduction.

Dawn,
I have really missed your brother's writing and thoughts. Thanks for sharing pictures and his funeral service. I did not know him personally, but lurked and read his posts regularly. I hope you and Jan are okay. I'm sure this has been a difficult road.
Hi Dawn
Yes I remembered Sharon's bd. on the 10th too. We always went out for our birthdays, and most of the time exchanged gifts. What a good memory I have of her and all the gifts I received from her. We are in Texas now, the cruise was wonderful. It is cold here, but not like MN> and all the snow. Take care Karen
This year was hard for Myra, since for the last 66 birthdays she shared it with Sharon. They were like twins separated by two years (and lots of other differences, too!) and Mom definitely has been missing her sister.
Thinking of all of you,
--Jenny
