    I’ve been wanting to start a thread called this for years! Coral, you are so kind, so on point, always just the right note, it means so much. You have something grounding and hopeful for everyone whether worried or scared or happy and celebrating. #magic# #magic#
    here is something lovely I saw today

    Aw shucks Hazel! Thanks so much for your kind words (and beautiful flower and butterfly). Thanks to Vororo and Dr James too. I like the sound of Queen Coral!

    When I visited Tasmania early this year I caught up with Dr James for lunch. He also invited Greg Jefferys so there I was, trying not to behave like a fan girl, with two of my all time heroes.

    Like many my Hep C story was at times a scary, secretive and lonely one. This forum not only provided me with advice and support, particularly during my relapse, but helped me to accept what was and to shed the shame. At that lunch I decided that my way of paying it forward was to continue to support people through this site.

    My other more personal reason is Gaj. His impact on me and my Hep C journey is hard to explain. I like to think that I am honouring him and helping in a small way to carry on some of this genuine support of others.

    You continue to inspire me Hazel with your fearless work for the cause. Your words mean a lot to me.
    Thank you. #flower
