Evie,

I couldn't agree with you more. I watched my sister die for twelve years and never once did I hear her say 'why me' or something along those lines. She knew her time in life was limited and got rid of the people that brought her down, made amends to who she felt she needed to make amends to and lived her life to the best of her ability...even when she was house bound. She touched so many lives in her short 46 years and helped so many people. She is my hero. When I get a big old case of the 'feeling sorries for me' I just remember her. It helps me to put it all in perspective.

You're also someone I look up to, Evie. You've had so much thrown at you in your young life and you haven't given up and you've kept fighting. I've read a lot of your posts where you say you felt like giving up...but you never did. You're strong and you're a fighter. And I'm so glad I've got to meet you here.
