Cool meeting

I've given up on any type of normalcy with posting. 

But today I had a really good experience.  I met the amazing Margaret Stohl, one of the authors of Captain Marvel, among many other works.  She was so lovely and sweet. 

I had her sign a comic, and then I told her Captain Marvel had made me cry, because I was a veteran and I could empathize with her so much.  She paused in handing me back the comic, took it back, and wrote, "You're my hero!"  Then, she took a Captain Marvel pin off her jacket and gave it to me, and we were both crying a  bit.

She then wanted a picture of me, which I was more than happy to do, if a bit embarrassed, as the line was really long, so I didn't get a picture on my phone, but she took it with hers! 

She spent a lot of time talking with people and really interacting with them. Such a lovely lady! 

I hope you all had a good day, too. 

My new RA infusions are a type of chemo, so for about two weeks after I'm totally messed up, but I'm feeling much better after that initial amount of ick, and I hope that I'll have my energy back soon, and won't be in as much pain.  Here's to a good year!

Love you all!

Oh my goodness, what a lovely encounter with Margaret Stohl! You'll always remember that, and I suspect she will as well.

*so many tight, encouraging hugses*
