Happy Birthday to Lisa in Heaven.
I became involved in your group 20 years ago to help out because your health was no longer good. I've tried hard to help people over these years, always in your memory.
It's been heartening to see so many other online efforts to help those with thal over the years, since you first founded your forum. I feel that we paved the way for these efforts by others and I know you would be pleased to see your thal friends find out that they are not alone in their daily struggles.
More than ever, I wish you were here to talk to. No matter how hard life got, you always found a way to offer friendship and hope. I miss you so much.
