Staci's story was touching to me as one of my college best friends has CF. Before I met her, she was hospitalized in elementary school and also consistently throughout middle school. But when I think of her, I don't think of her as someone who has CF; I see her as my friend. I don't think of her having a chronic illness, even though it's important to her life journey and how she almost died. It's a privilege I get to see her in a light where her CF isn't controlling her life. #so345
