Just outrageous. Everyone must be told of this!

Just to be clear, when I said "girls such as my younger sister with cystic fibrosis" I was speaking generally. My sister with CF died in 1984.

However, the circumstances I spoke of regarding girls with CF and all other reasons for being hospitalized today, and for female people who need home care and are in nursing homes as well, all hold true for 2021. There's a huge movement afoot to put pressure on infirm, disabled girls and women and elderly women to suspend all boundaries, and to depict anyone who resists as a bigot and phobe.

I'm really sorry about your sister. I hope that you and your family have found some healing and peace.

Thanks, BEB! That is so kind of you to say, and I do appreciate it.

Unfortunately, before my beloved younger sister died of CF at 24, my older brother died of CF in our childhood - and later on another sister died of cancer at 46. Our mother died young too.

My two remaining siblings and I have tried hard to find peace and healing, but we've discovered that these are hard to come by. On the upside, we are all very good at crisis management and gallows humor. And the humor has passed on to the next generation. At age 7 my oldest child remarked from the back seat of our minivan, "Mom, I've been wondering. How come in dad's family everyone lives till they're like 98, but in your family there's always somebody young croaking all the time?" I had to pull off the road for a moment coz this made me laugh - and cry - too hard to safely drive. "Out of the mouths of babes"...
