I can’t thank everyone enough and overwhelmed for the large crowd that came out to support my Book Launch at McNally Robinson Thursday night. So many family, friends I haven’t seen in a long time and many that I met for the first time. I had to take many deep breaths and swallow to contain my emotions.
I will always be grateful and never forget that moment with a smile. I was told that day that my Mom and Sister in heaven are here right beside me holding my hand. I always said if I can encourage one family with CF, it was all worth it. Well the very next day waiting for my tests at Health Science Centre a woman walked by and said. Are you the lady at the Launch last night? I said Yes, with a puzzled look. I was there! Oh sorry I don’t remember seeing you, but very glad you came. Her Son was in hospital and has Cystic Fibrosis. She told me seeing me and hearing a little bit at the Launch gave her hope and we hugged tearfully! Just hearing that made it all worth it and that is one of the main reasons I wrote this book. For those of you who could not make it to Winnipeg we are have another book signing at the Village Connections in St.Pierre on Thursday June 6th from 5-7pm. Hope you enjoy the read!
This is a friend of mine and we both have Cystic Fibrosis and both had a double lung transplant 8 months apart.
