Welcome to the first in a series of VERY picture heavy posts.

It is always great to meet with my Dravet friends "In Real Life". Some have been friends for years, others this is our first interaction.

All are special. These are some of the people who can read me like a book.

Some of the people who cheer/roar for us when we accomplish even minor things.

Or understand my twisted sense of humor, because most of them have the exact same dose of sarcasm.

Some come from far away places-We had people from Australia, Austria, Ireland, Israel, Mexico, Cyprus, England, Africa, a crazy big group from Canada and other countries represented this year!

Some are from your backyard.

Some are so sweet that you want to pack them up and take them home with you.

The children especially leave huge marks on your heart. I love these two.

Some have an alarming amount in common with you.

But with all of them...you feel a whole lot of love. This is my favorite part of the conference. Making connections. The internet is awesome, but I will always prefer to "friend" someone IRL.
