I've learned a few things from having cystic fibrosis.

You really are making a mark in this world.

I broke down at #7 and I am weeping as I write this. Ever since my 3-year old granddaughter was born with CF, I have struggled with grief and anger. I don't want her future to be one of by suffering, pain, and unfulfilled dreams. Yet is Maysa shedding tears over missed joys or opportunities? No way! On the contrary, she faces each new day with a smile, ready for whatever it may bring. She keeps up with her active older siblings and drives her parents crazy. In other words, she is a typical 3-year old! Thank you for reminding me that life is meant to be embraced, not mourned, and that Maysa needs a grandma who can accept that her future may not be perfect, but hey... the trampoline is waiting!

You're my role model your so fierce.

[sophiecattalini]

You are so beautiful as a person! I love the way you speak. It reaches out and latches on and sends a beautiful message. I truly love you, this and everything about you. Sorry, this sounds creepy

[kiwedinikwe]

You are literally the most precious human being I've come across on YouTube. Sending you all my positive energy, you're amazing. xo

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I totally agree, as a fellow CF patient, there there is never a time too dark for laughter :)

I have so f*cking much respect for you. You are wonderful, that's it.

[Atownbirdman]

I love the way you speak. The way you come across, the way you phrase things, the vocabulary that you choose to use... it's kind of enthralling. Thanks for letting us glance into your life! I always enjoy your videos, keep it up. 

With love and respect from Atlanta.

I have CF and I always feel like I have no one to relate to and when I realized that you had it, it made me so excited!! I just wish we could meet and hang out and talk! But because CF sucks and infection sucks, we can't:( But seeing this channel makes me so happy that there are people that I can relate to and I feel less alone:)

[sarawawa]

You are honestly so wise. Just straight up wise. You don't even see a lot of older adults with as much wisdom

[jacquelinekilkelly]

I never cry at anything, seeing as I'm you know depressed ( the hollow no emotion type) but this made me cry of HAPPINESS THAT SUCH A HUMAN COULD EXIST GOD BLESS YOU

[linneas]

I have a chronic illness too! Chronic diseases suck, but I've grown so much through my experiences and wouldn't be the same person without it. It's so refreshing how positive, yet honest you are! Thanks for sharing your story!

[KS-mstw]

You are such an inspiring, beautiful, intelligent and unique human being. So glad I found your channel. Thanks for being you and keep being awesome! Xoxo

[trishakatski]

I am dumbfounded... honestly..
you have one of the brightest most beautiful spirits I have ever seen or come across. literally you can hang onto every word you speak and wish your videos would never end. We are so lucky to have found you... I don't believe in chance.. I've been very down and so blah about life as of late and you gave me that jolt you made me remember that life is beautiful and magical and precious.. and not because you are sick.. but... because like I said you have this energy around you that many do not and wish they could have.. you my dear are changing the world with your beauty.. thank you for being you.. thank you for making me remeber

[TheRjjrjjr]

You surpass me. I just discovered your videos and you are filling me with awe. In a very short time I have learned that I sincerely care about you and the wonderful light you bring into the world! Now I am crying because I want so many good things for you. I want so much for you to be completely whole in every way, glowingly healthy and happy! From this moment on you will be in my prayers and I will ask God to give you health, wealth, wisdom, well-being and satisfy you with a very long and happy life. Please be blessed wonderful girl!

[cowardexe]

You're so important and so are these videos. You deserve a million subs.

[Molly-cmsr]

you are so beautiful, you helped me so much to help me not hate myself for being sick. I'm honestly in tears. Thank you so much for sharing you story, it gives so many others hope.

[Ash-xdzn]

After the first time I saw your videos I've thought more about life and everything around me. I know this may sound silly or arrogant. But I feel close to what people call "enlightenment" I hate that I said that. But honestly you were the catalyst. You've changed my life. Helped me walk through life appreciating every moment, every pain, and every one.

I thank you most Sincerely. I hope I get to meet you one day.

THANK YOU! for doing these videos as a 20 something disabled person with epilepsy, fibromyalgia, pcos, chronic pain syndrome i have been looking for a channel like this, where someone else understands the struggles with being sick as a young person not someone 50+. Also YES listening to our bodies! Much love and Many spoons!
