mauli ola

little by little


so, last weekend i went surfing with the mauli ola foundation (and i promise PROMISE i'll post info about myself soon!!) but they are seriously awesome. and i met a bunch of super awesome people.
but also, i met this kid Gavin. (gavin if you ever read this just know that i mean it!) and he was the first person EVER, who was my age and was NOT part of the mauli ola foundation and who was NOT part of my family or close friends, that i told about me having cystic fibrosis. and Gavin, i wanna say thanks. because how you handled that news, - even if you didnt completely understand what it was - it made me hopeful that other people will take it as well as you did. and not be afraid to ask me questions about it - and have me answer honestly. it was seriously the best gift you can give me. im slowly getting better at realizing who i am - cf and all - and i want to give that credit to you because im not as afraid of CF anymore. im a little more honest with myself (and i guess the ENTIRE web). and that is with your help. :D

oh and thanks for surfing with me!! you're good! so i hope i can hangout with you more and maybe learn a few pointers? haha thanks!!!
