So, who have I met? People from all over the world and in our country. Some of whom, I have not yet met in person, but are planning to in one way or another. I've met some great people more locally too, like Damon and his family in Chicago. They came to see me several times, in the hospital and here. And we've been with them through a few football games. I talked with someone recently from New Jersey through email just the other day. I met Bob at Holy Cross College while in the thick of treatment. There's also fellow blogger Daniel and his family, who live in Romania. Great people. I've also talked with Alison and Kathleen who are both from South Africa. And I'm not even listing them all! It's amazing what hiding behind your computer sometimes will do for your virtual interactions when you're faced with a common enemy. What do they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend?
With that said, I couldn't have predicted who I would wind up meeting and what I would end up learning as a result of this blog and Facebook. Still mystifies me sometimes. In a good way.
I personally, have been in awe of you and others who are able to keep blogs in the face of such illnesses. Reading about Daniel, who we first met in your blog, also suffering with Allison when she lost her husband Steven. The way the world is at are finger tips should bring us all closer together. It really is a small world after all.
