You guys ALL ROCK!!! And I have missed you so very much... I am doing OK. You know something I NEVER EVER thought that I would be able to survive losing MY KARE BEAR... BUT... she is NOT in PAIN any longer and I am so very very very RELIEVED for that as is her Dad and sister AND daughter. Kari completed her MISSION here on this earth, this LIFETIME, and did it with MORE DIGNITY and GRACE than ANYONE I have EVER known. And she is still with me and will always be my guardian angel. And all of YOU. YOU who battle CF each and EVERY minute of the day are MY HEROS! You are SO SPECIAL and DO NOT EVER FORGET THAT!!! "Spirits" with CF are the MOST AWESOME people that I have ever had the honor to meet! YOU ALL HAVE FACED ADVERSITY WITH SUCH COURAGE AND STRENGTH AND... JUST WITH SUCH CARING FOR OTHERS IN YOUR HEARTS. I have never and will NEVER have known you all without Kari and Holli's suffering. I have faced my worst fear with losing Kari and now my NEW mission is to make sure that Holli Jade will be OK. It has ALWAYS been important for me but Kari was ALWAYS so very ILL, that sometimes we would forget that HJ has CF too! Her Dad and I even tho we are not married now have PULLED TOGETHER (always have) but with a vengeance to be there for Holli and little Mayah and vow to make their lives GREAT in spite of losing Kari. That was her DREAM. She gave us such GIFTS in her short life and I just feel her with me all the time and that she is HAPPY. (sigh). I still write in her Caring Bridge site so go there if you wish. sign on is karirankin. I LOVE YOU GUYS! And I will be back more and more as time goes by, you couldn't get rid of me THAT easily! LOL.
peace.
