Laurie's Layout Livin' & Craftin' with Cystic Fibrosis: April 2009

Some stuff about me

These are a few things about me, my life, family and interests. I love scrapbooking & sharing with my online groups and all of the gals there, they are so kind & helpful. I wish I could be more involved, I regret letting life get by so quickly, now that I am sick (just diagnosed at age 42 with cystic fibrosis!) I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I've always just lived for the moment and I hope the memories I leave will be fond to all of those that have known me. With 27% lung capacity revised.... 23% left I have had to face the harsh reality of mortality and death; "it is what it is" as the saying goes. I am just thankful for everyday that I am blessed with. I could hope for nothing more, just knowing I was loved by my children in my life brings my heart happiness. Add on...I'm going on a cruise April 2010 Lord willin'! Please pray for me that I can remain healthy enough to make a once in a lifetime trip! xx-oo

What is Cystic Fibrosis, you ask.

Yeah I know I'm not UNDERWEIGHT, so if I have to have this disease at least maybe I have something to look forward to!
