Good people
I feel so lucky to have so many good people in my life.
After my vent the other day, I have received such an wonderful outpouring of hugs and suggestions. This is why I share my heart here. I couldn’t even begin to list everyone because I would be afraid of not being able to list them all.
- To people like Petula and Sarah, who gave me suggestions as to at home jobs I never even knew about and definitely am looking into.
- To people like Nancy and Christine, moms of type 1 older children, who shared their struggles before there was a treatment for GD and offered support.
- To people like Melissa who offered to help with legal advice.
- To people like Larry who care for Hannah is just immeasurable.
- To people like Heather, Julie, Tracy, Manette, Kelly, Misty, etc., who travel hundreds of miles just to spend Hannah’s birthday with us.
- To people like Cassie, my sister-in-law, who is one of Hannah’s biggest advocates, who has given us so much more than I could even begin thank her for.
- To people like Dr. Bhakta, Dr. Weinreb, Dr. Schiffmann, Dr. Goker-Alpan, Dr. Sidransky, Catherine, everyone at the NGF, Kathleen at Genzyme, and other “professionals” who are involved with Hannah’s care and show such a personal interest in her well being.
- To other “special kid” moms like Karen, Melenie, Jessica, Nicole, Laura, Cristina, Melissa, Amanda, etc., who have been my personal support group, understanding what I am going through, and having them there to share the day-to-day struggles
- To my neighbors like Jill, Lauren, Megan, Tasha, Maria, Paula, etc., who always seem to be there when I need them.
- To my hubby…the best man in the entire world…best husband, best friend, just the best.
The list goes on and on. It really does. This is only just a small portion of the wonderful people that having Hannah in my life has brought me.

Carrie,
What I wouldn’t give to be able to give you all the money you need to stay home and enjoy Hannah. I can’t imagine what you are going through.

I said last night to my speech therapist that I feel so guilty because I am so wrapped up in our chaos that I haven’t been able to be there for my friends lately. Talking with you today was so great, I just wish it could’ve been longer!! I think we definitely need to schedule some mommy vent time in!! I miss you so much. I think about you guys ALL of the time. I am so thankful to you for all that you have done for me…and just knowing that you are there for me means SO much. I hope you know that I am always here for you, and I will do anything that you or your family needs. I love you guys so much..and I can’t wait for the day we can get our July babies together for a photo op!!

I feel lucky to have a certain good person in my life too: you.

I second Misti – I wish I had the means to give you whatever you needed so you could not worry about money! And back at ya baby – you and your family have brought great meaning to my life and my family! xoxoxo!
I’m glad to be of a little help and appreciate the mention. The thing is, like Cristina said, you are one of those good people. I appreciate you sharing your life and struggles with us; opening up about Hannah’s disease and helping us to understand. You are a strong and special person who has an awesome family that includes that amazing baby.
I also wish that I could do more to lift the financial burden from you and your husband’s shoulders. Thank you for letting me be apart of your world.
