For the living


In my book, I wrote about a special friend, a cyber sister. I wrote about the Chinese saying, "TUNG BING SIANG LIEN", loosely translated as birds of the same feather flock. E lost two children to Campomelic dysplasia, then she had to fight cancer. I knew her through my Campomelic family group, and walked along with her when she first knew she was pregnant with a CD baby. I walked with her with her baby died.

I wrote about hoping that lightning won't strike me again, and here E is, being struck three times. E survived and bounced back.

E is a fighter, she is involved with the global genes project. She is involving her daughter in the heart foundation jump rope for the heart. Here, she is mirroring me, I used to donate to save lives of a pair of co-joint aka Siamese twins and the deaf children in Kenya. I too, got my kids to help me.

Is it through bitter trials, that our lives are strengthened and we have become more resilient?

I love you E and H, and K.

  3. We'd like to introduce "tip of the day" here on our Facebook page. Our tips and YOUR tips on how to get involved for World Rare Disease Day. Tip #1: Host a cupcake party. If you had 50 guests, you could put gummy bears in 5 of the cupcakes to represent the 1 in 10 that are affected by RARE disease. What's your tip on how to get involved? Please share yours and stay tuned for more ideas. Ellen
