I used to apologise all the time about coughing before my transplant. I still say sorry a lot, but I'm going to take your cue and just STOP. Right now. Brilliant piece, Carly. I hope this gets published elsewhere because it needs to be.

I too have netherton's syndrome, although a milder version than yours, but I can relate to the dead skin thing. You're lucky to have such a supportive love from your man like that. I don't understand why people would consciously make someone who clearly has struggles feel worse than they already do about their situation. Anyway, I hope all is well! You're beautiful :)Allie Fasanellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168438720564344904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-72610343628948392532015-01-09T00:24:54.708+11:002015-01-09T00:24:54.708+11:00Wow what a powerful piece of writing, we should al...Wow what a powerful piece of writing, we should all take a leaf out of your book and stop saying sorry for 2015 and all of forever! I say sorry for being in the way in my wheelchair, I say sorry for not keeping up on my crutches, I say sorry for feeling so exhausted I can't move - after reading this I am going to make a concerted effort not to say sorry for something I cannot control. By the way you looked fab on No Limits, I have the same as Hayley and over the years she has been a great help and inspiration. I look forward to reading more of your blog.

In fact, I kind of think it might do my aging skin some good, so THANK YOU!<br /><br />Reading this though has awoken thoughts of times where I've felt guilty because of "inconveniences" due to my dwarfism - such as the fact that my Mum hated the fact that she'd have to cut of a great deal of material taking hems up and lamented at the waste of money.

I remember when you said that to me at my house. I'd apologized so much and so often for so many years that it had become second nature. <br /><br />Often I get very fatigued and achy, so during those times I have to stop and rest. Sometimes I'll sleep a lot. Those comments do stay with you: "You don't look disabled" (if I'm sitting). "You're too young to be so tired." And on and on. Eventually I would just push through because I didn't want to hear the comments, but Ive gotten more comfortable. I wanted to let you know that I've never forgotten what you said. And now I'm saying it to you: Never apologize for something you can't control, something that is part of you. I'm glad that it's your New Years resolution. Have a very happy 2015. ❤️Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-20957148308694149612015-01-06T23:14:33.806+11:002015-01-06T23:14:33.806+11:00You go girl!

I think a lot of people do this, no matter the reason, and it's so good to see you're going to try put a stop to it for yourself. Never apologise for being you, and never apologise for something that you can't control. You're a beautiful person, Carly, and I can't wait to see what you achieve this year ♥ xxMillicent Nankivellhttp://www.millicentnankivell.comnoreply@blogger.com
