Well today I am back and swinging! I had a couple of rough days feeling sorry for myself and now I’m done. I want to tell you what I grateful for instead.

We have been shown unbelievable amounts of love from so many – Family, Friends, new Friends and complete strangers. Our family has gone without to give us what we need to thrive. During a storm we had no electricity my parents gave us their generator and lived in the cold, getting ready for work in the dark or in their cars. Grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins, and friends have given their money to help us find a cure. They have made sacrifices to give the most they possibly could and then some. I was asked by the coordinator for the walk how we were doing so well already as far as donations. I can take NO credit. It  is all the love and support of people that want to see Ginger grow and enjoy her life. She is how. She has a smile that touches hearts, a giggle that warms them and a spunk that teaches what fighting is. Everyday people join her in the fight. She does the hard part and we lift her up and cheer her on. She is the type of person I want to grow up to be and she is only 11 months. This disease destroyed me but also taught me who I want to be and how strong I can be. I realize the things I choose to think about and focus on are what will set my mood and the feeling in this house. I want to make people feel the way Ginger does. I want to bring out the good and the happiness in peoples hearts. She is my teacher. I have met fellow CF mommies and aunties in this fight and I’m grateful for there love and support and that we can lean on each other. I will be there for them and they ARE there for me. The world is big and scary but full of very kind people. I can’t say enough how grateful I am for everyone that loves us and for the people that take the time to read my heart (this blog) it’s nice to know your feelings do matter and people care to know what they are. I love you all My blue eyed Ginger Blue

She is my life

Derek got me this for Christmas. It’s over our bed to remind me on my hard days.

Please if you have time go over and visit our new friends Sierra and Maddie. They are part of OUR CF family. We fight this fight together and they are sharing their story.
