  As you all know, Im a victim of "Cystic Fibrosis" (also known as CF). This virus spreads through my body and mostly effects my lungs, which makes it difficult for us, CFers to survive.

  I am part of a special medical treatment to find a possible cure for the virus.
  Dr Hamid (my specialist) says that I would need a new pair of healthy lungs to get better. But alot of people don't know that new lungs can only survive for 5 years. Which is kind of a great thing since all CFers try to survive as long as they can.

     I've always waited my whole life, for that moment, it's the only thing I ever wished. So that I could finally be a normal person instead of swallowing a million pills a day just so I could survive
    I would schedule every day of my life, working according to it, taking all medicines necessary just so I could survive long enough and use the life time limit I earned, to learn something new and make use of everyday.
   But it all changed after I met Will. 
(B Cepacia, that's what he suffered from, a hardy bacteria. There's no coming back from that virus)
   I fell in love with him. It wasn't love at first sight but u know...
   The worst part of falling in love with another CFer is that we had to stay 6 feet away from each other, to prevent us from getting each other's virues ( which if you ask me, sucks. Literally sucks)

                                                  

   After losing my best friend ( Poe, another CFer) , my sister Abby it made me realise
"Hey! Im done living my life through schedules, I've  only got a little time in life and I want to enjoy it. I want to add colour to my life. I want it bright and filled with happy moments with the people I love.
  
   Well... in the end I got my wish the only thing I ever dreamed of since I was a little girl, a pair of healthy lungs,
   But life had to be so cruel, I got my lungs, but I found out later, that Will's treatments weren't working and he and I will never get to see each other again.
