My husband passed away a couple of days ago. He lived 32 woderful years. I have been posting and reading at this wonderful website for about a year. I thank you all for sharing your feelings, thoughts, frustrations and knowledge. Everyday I found a positng I could relate to. I would especially like to thank Dea, Kylie, Dave, Melissa and Piper for their words. I always somehow felt a connetion to what your were saying. I am so proud of my husband, and I am proud of us. We knew an unconditional love most people never know. I will continue my fight for a cure. I never gave up hope when it come to my husband, and even though he is gone the hope is still aliove that one day a cure will be found. I will tell the parent of CF children they will play sports, go to college, marry and buy a home- all things my mother in law and husband were told he wouldn't do. My heart is broken, but for as much sadness I feel, I feel even more love and that love will get me through. I pray for you all, and I am so proud of people with CF. You are all so special.With love,Melissa Carroll, David Carroll's wife

Dear Melissa,My heart goes out to you. It is so difficult to accept any loved one's passing, especially when they leave us so young. As difficult as it has always been for me to accept my sister's passing at age 7, I like to think that her death increased another CFer's life because research was furthered through her doctors' treatment of her. So, although nothing can ease the loss you feel, please know that David's life bettered treatment of CF as doctors were able to learn through him.Love,Piper
My deepest condolences on your loss. I am the mother of a CF child and I hope that one day she meets a partner as caring as you that will allow her to experience life to its fullest, and experience unconditional love with someone other than her family.My thoughts are with you.Heather
I am very sorry for your loss. Your husband was very lucky to have you by him while he was fighting. Your post has also reminded me of how lucky I am that I have found someone like you who is willing to stick by me even though I have CF. My fiance and I are getting married in August and have been together for over 7 years. We had only been together for a month when I was diagnosed with CF, she could have very easily bailed on me, but she didn't.Thank you for the reminder, the world needs more people like you.Dave 29 w/cf
Melissa, I'm very sorry to hear about your husband David. Your post also reminds me of how fortunate I am to have such a loving and caring spouse who, like was just stated, could easily have bailed on me. My wife and I have been married for 8 years and the past 3 have been very tough healthwise. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and God bless <img src="i/expressions/rose.gif" border="0"> -Rich
Melissa,I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband...I know nothing we say can make it better. I know he is no pain and is breathing freely....but it doesnt help the loss that you feel. You are such a great person to have been through all you did with your husband. I know it can be a daily struggle at times. You are in my thoughts and prayers! It's great to know that you will still be helping to fight for a cure for CF. Hang in there! Deaalmost 31/with CF
hi melissa,its your sister kristin. I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you and DAvid. You two have been through so much together and you both never let it get you down. One guy said that there should be more people like you in this world. And its true There should be more people like you and David. you two shared something that most people only dream of. Your so strong and I cant even begin how to tell you how much i look up to you. I only wish I could have 1/2 the strength and courage that you and david did. I miss him so much but I know that his life will continue on through Ryan. More and more everyday I see DAvid in Ryan. And I have no doubt in my mind that DAvid is at peace and he is with us always. I feel him around all the time. I love you so much and I'm so proud of you. David is now our angel always guding us along the way.And some day we will all be together again.Love always,Krissy Face <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
