Re: True Love and CMT

[Guest guest]

Since we are getting married this weekend, I wanted to share with the group what

my fiancee wrote when the Rabbi asked us to write what made him fall in love

with me.

" Jackie has an amazing personality. She is for real, what you see is what you

get. Except I don't see her illness as a disability, and neither does she. It is

what it is. I think Jackie has made me a better person, and actually made me

grow up. I have been told by many people that it takes a special person to get

into a relationship with someone with a disability like Jackie's. I don't look

at it that way. I feel fortunate and lucky to have Jackie love me. I have many

more disabilities and baggage than Jackie does, which is why I am so lucky. I

finally realized that it's truly what's inside that really matters. I believe

this was meant to be, and that somehow we were destined for each other. "

So, as you can see, there are special people out there who once they meet you

and get to know you, learn to see you for the whole person and not see CMt as a

disability but more as a personal growth issue.

Joana,

Thanks for your kind words regarding my post. CJ had some more questions so we

are emailing direct now and getting acquainted. I think I've made a new

friend.

Hi Joana & Carl,

Yes, in fact I have just got a long email from Carl last night and I am going to

reply him... soon :-)

It is fun and encouraging that this list enable us who have CMT to provide a

means to exchange CMT life, as well as others.

Cheers

Mazel tov, Jackie!

I hope my son will find a special woman that will see the wonderful

and intelligent person that he is, and not be blinded by his CMT.

Congratulations!!!
