Title: Where do I begin...
Post by Peppermint on Jul 22^nd, 2003, 9:12pm

This convention was a learning experience to say the least - and I met some absolutely amazing and wonderful people, every last one of you, clusterheads and supporters alike.

Thanks to:
- All of you for welcoming me, I was the only supporter there without the clusterhead that led me to this place.
- Linda, for letting me hold your hand.
- Cat, for being there afterwards.
- Deej, for letting me know how important it was for me to "see" and that it was ok.
- Brad, for jamming on the harmonica, even though I was probably wayyyyy off pitch and sounded terrible at 4am :P.
- Suzy, for being there, I will be here for you hopefully in a bigger way come the fall.

....Well, I could go on, but when I say ALL of you, Randy, Bryan, Bill, Michele, Deb, Dan, Randy, Eyes, Steve, Joanie, Coots, Brad, Tracey, Elaine, Cat, Linda, Suzy, Ave, Liz, Paul, M.R., Ree, Dave, Kev, Irma, Jonny, TommyD, TerryS, Marcelo, Lori, Charlie, TimW and Robin, Joe, Billy and DJ.....hope I didn't leave anyone out..... I learned something from each one of you about the intricacies of the human spirit. In the face of dealing with clusters, there is one common thread which is strength. In witnessing that and reaching out to complete strangers to feel an immense connection, and bonding, well, I feel fortunate to have had shared that with you.

I don't know if I'll be able to do justice to the task before me, but I will try.

When all is said and done, I will never forget this moment in time.

Thank you also Pep. As you know I had lots of reservations about going being that my Mother passed away the week before but I am so, so glad I chose to go. It will always be a memory that I will treasure.
