Talana,
Fist and foremost, my deepest condolences for the loss of your friend, Dear Eva.
I found you through Eva. I have just recently learned of Eva, who she is, what she represents and her story. In fact the first entry of hers I read was her 'Goodbye Video' WOW!
Upon learning of her passing, I have now spent the past 3 days reading her entire journal. I have also learned much about You, Kina, Meg and many others. In fact it was funny when looking at Eva's pictures, the last year, I knew who people were without the pictures having to be tagged.
What an intimate relationship that has been created in the past 4 years though. I found myself wanting to be a part of the West Coast trip, wanting to join in on the 11th Annual Caroling, so much, only to realize, this was all past now.
About Me. I do not have CF, nor have I ever known someone closely in my life that has CF. In fact the worse medical issue I guess I have ever had was only a heart attack last year.
Otherwise, I just reside quietly in Vancouver, Washington with my husband and my two favorite pals, Jazz & Jules, my golden retrievers.
Anyways, I hope I can continue to follow your journey and those of Meg, Kina and others. And to hopefully be a part of the love, the support, the lives of many spectacular folks here. And yes, I am known to also kick some butt into gear now and then when I feel a push is needed, be warned!

I live just across the water from you, MJ, in Portland. Daydee used to go to the Portland clinic and she made the transition for me from the Seattle clinic to the Portland clinic much easier by telling me who was who and what to expect.
Eva really brought the cf community together. I will always feel indebted to her for the wonderful friendships I cultivated following her example.
And Talana, I'm really glad you were able to bring Eva some comfort and that she brought you so much comfort. I also take heart in seeing how comfortable you are with your quiet faith. There are a lot of people out there who in an effort to spread the good word, make me feel alienated, and make me think they think I'm less of a person because I'm atheist. My first reaction is to lash out, but I know that doesn't do anyone any good.
It makes me feel good to know that there are people like you out there who still try to see the best in everyone, which I think in turn makes the world a little bit more livable for everyone.
