Amy, that is very big of you, but a lot of other people are guilty too, including myself. I fortunatelly got to appoligize to Jason and try and make it up to him. Jason was at first very devestated at the attacks and responses, but he also said that it was what made him realize he had to deal w/ his CF and get help. The sad thing in all this, is that Jason had taken such huge steps, he stayed in the hospital to get his CF under control and educated himself. Things were looking up for him, and he had so much he could of offered for CF and in life. I'm not sure what caused his death, and like others on this thread am curious, how some one that's CF is doing so well, is taken so suddenly, prehaps it was a heartattack or blood clot that caused a stroke, I don't know, nor do I ever really need to know the reason, I am just so saddened by this and wanted everyone to know of his passing. It's amazing, how a someone u never met can touch you so much, i'm sure the CF connection made it a real friendship, but it was also the person I could tell Jason when we talked, he loved life and was very appreciative of others. The fact that he was taken so young as many other CFers are is what makes this such a horrible disease.
