Ambra, you are part of our OCF family now. You were from the day you joined our forum. We all watch out for each other. Many members have become my life long friends. I am lucky to have met OCF members from around the country, even a wonderful one from Canada and her husband. When we get to meet, its like we have known each other for our whole lives, like we really are long lost relatives. Of course not everyone wants to get that close, some prefer to remain anonymous which is perfectly ok too. We still think of them as part of our extended OCF family anyway and respect their privacy. Who knows, one day when all this is finished you may be getting together with a group of new friends from OCF. Guess you know we really are here to support you and we do have your back.

Make the very most of every single day. For many OC patients planning for the future is something many stop doing. Just keep this in the back of your mind.... when everything is finished next spring and summer you will be doing so much better, maybe you could attend one of the OCF walks closest to you. Never know what the future holds.
