Missing Friends

Did you know that when you find out that you're sick 97 percent of your friends stop calling, or inviting you to events, etc? Nobody seems to know what to say to you, if they  should even bring it up at all, and certainly no one wants to pretty you past your limits and make you feel unwell.

There are a few things that I wish people would realize though.... I dont mind talking about it, I like spreading awareness about a rare illness. I wish that you wouldn't ignore me or leave me out of events JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE TOO MUCH FOR ME. It feels good to be included, and I live going to social gatherings, and it actually helps me to get my mind off of how bad I feel sometimes. If I'm not up for attending, then I will let you know. 

I just remember what it was life before I got sick.... I REALLY miss spring time/summer time cook outs.
