Hi All,
I'm like Mar. It is difficult to express exactly how you feel because the reunion was so awesome it was almost sureal.
I can't begin to express my gratitutde to Michelle, Shari, Carol, DJ, Jill and family for all the work put into making this a very special and memorable occassion and to Shan for the goodies.
The reunion was probably the best thing for Kevin, aside from his surgery, that I can remember having such a positive and profound impact on him. I'm sooo glad we were able to attend. We felt privledged to attend and loved meeting everyone and hearing their story and absolutely can't wait until the next gathering. The MM family is a very "special" family and we are genuinely grateful to all for your support and friendship.
That Cara is something else! She will melt your heart!
She loved and hugged everyone and especially DJ. At one point, I thought she would need to be surgically separated from DJ. lol
Kevin really laughed and had a good time at New York New York's douling piano bar with Shari and Michelle. You guys know how to have a good time!
lol
Kevin and I had a good time having lunch with Mar and "Fish" and talking with Irene and DJ's mom. Perhaps the age thing?
lol. Kevin really wanted to meet DJ in person as most of you know, without moyamoya.com, Kevin would not have been treated and ultimately would not be here. So meeting DJ was very special to Kevin. He had met Campbell and Tara at the hospital but never met Jill (she was sitting with me through all the surgeries) so he was excited about finally getting to meet Jill. Cara made Kevin laugh and feel "young" again. Equally, Kevin enjoyed meeting everyone and has a special meeting story with each and everyone at the reunion and wants to thank all for their support and friendhip. It was a very humbling, memorable and pleasurable experience for Kevin. Like all the others, we can't wait for the next reunion.
We hope all can make it to the next reunion. That would be very special.
Hugs,
Lore
