Thanks for the phone call, DJ. And Warren (from Prince George, B.C.) it was nice meeting you. Now that DJ has finally met somebody from the "north" country..maybe we can get him to go to Wasi with us one of these days. I cannot tell you how happy I am that you all (CH sufferers) have each other and were able to get together this year to meet, greet and share your thoughts, feelings and experiences. There is NO way I could ever begin to imagine the excruciating pain you know first hand from having to deal with your headaches. But, I do know something of the complete and absolute feelings of helplessness a parent suffers just knowing a loved one is forced to deal with that kind of pain. I do not think I could even begin to come up with the words to express what it must be like to watch it happen on a daily basis .. such is the case with Warren and his wife. My heart and prayers go out to each and every one of you!!! DJ .. this is for you. I cannot begin to tell you how much I love you and how very proud I am of you. You are a good and decent man. At a time when you were most in need of comfort yourself, and without knowing if there would be any response, you made a decision to reach beyond that pain in the form of creating this website. I feel certain those that were able to come to this first convention .. as well as those that would have liked to have been there are all saying the same thing in their own ways .. "thank you for caring, DJ .. thank you for the bottom of our hearts!"
