And Angie, Alyssa said that she emailed you. (=

Sarah, I'm glad she emailed you. When I read her long post, I was worried b/c she sounded so depressed. It's funny how you start to worry about people you've never met b/c we all have this D-thing in common. Also, having lived through growing up w/ T1, I feel protective of some of you all ... But, anyways, I hope she will be safe.

This is so sad but I'm sure Alyssa will be successful with whatever she is accomplishing outside of Juvenation. I can't wait until she comes back, though! She is an amazing person.

She is and soooooooooo are you, Katie!

Thanks! We will be strong :)
Ummm....we could talk about...dinosaurs. What colors do you think they were when they existed?
green, purple, grey, pink, yellow, blue... i wanna meet a dino!
A pink dino would be awesome!!!! Too bad they are extinct!!! They should by some miracle return!!! :) that would be amazing!!!
I'll miss Alyssa on her haitus as well, but appropriately, I have a webcomic to share in the light of her leaving:
http://xkcd.com/650/
Make sure to hover over the comic and read the alt text. it's the most important part.
Wow! This is the first time that I've seen that she is gone!!!? I haven't been on in a few days and I'm sad to see her gone. I'm actually sitting in the library at my school and I started to tear up reading her goodbye. I can't believe this!
I echo what courtney says. I have been away and come back to this. I am saddened that she has taken some time away from us. However, if this is something that she needs or feels is necessary more power to her. Hopefully, when things get back on the track she is planning at, she will be back. And we will all welcome her back. Please pass my regards on to her if you talk to her again.
Dear All,
Alyssa is my best friend and one of the most amazing people I have ever met. It's sad for me to read all of your guys comments and really cherish the fact that she's made such an impact in so many people's lives. But it doesn't surprise me cuz she's done the same for me. And that's the Alyssa I know and love.
My best friend has had diabetes since 2005. I met her in 2006. We were in 7th grade then so I wasn't familiar with what it was exactly. Now we are in 10th grade and I really started to understand all that she goes through last year. We became really close, coping with our lives together and helping each other out. We would talk each other through the hard times and help the other one out. I remember our long phone calls late at night and crying through the phone. She needed my help with her diabetes, i needed her help with my mom and her stroke. I really appreciate all that she has done for me and always being there when i needed her most.
Just know that she's doing so well and I know it was hard to see her say goodbye, but to me I see this as her becoming stronger and i see her in a better place now. Juvenation was so helpful for her and all of you have made an impact in her life too.
XOXO
Bri
**Poetry is something special to both Alyssa and me. I wrote this poem to her, she is my "hero"**
[Strongest Light]
There's a light inside you
Built of strength
Something not visible
But felt throughout
With a warm glow
Uplifting us all
From the deepest depths
Where we've been lost
Ever word said
And hug given
Your light is a guide
Our guide to bravery
I look at you
With open eyes
Seeing a girl
Standing tall
Looking past our well-known faces
She gives me hope
That we can too
Recover ourselves
Move forward with life
Not letting this hold us down
Off in the distance
A burning light
Within a loving heart
Greeted with a smile
Brightest of eyes
She stands before me
As a girl
Rolemodel
My hero
That poem is beautiful Brianna
I just read her goodbye a few minutes before finding this post. I am sad as well. I do hope she gets everything worked out, whatever it may be.
Sarah next time you email her tell her that her birthday picture she made me is still my background on my computer (;
Alyssa was the most amazing person I have ever met. Whenever I had a bad day, she was the light that illuminated it. Now I feel empty in a way. I know that all the other Juvenation members are here but I feel as if I lost a part of me. I cant even tell her my good news whenever I get some and I cant try and cheer her up if she has a bad day. Alyssa is my inspiration everyday. Even though she isnt on Juvenation, I feel like she is watching over me, like a guardian angel.
I'm back. :)
Also... I think the latest suspicion is that dinosaurs may have been red. MISSED YOU GUYS.
Hi. Sent you a "conversation" message. WELCOME BACK!!
Thanks for the welcoming back from everyone!
I'd love to hear from you, but I don't think you are seeing the Conversation I started.
