The convention is over for 2011. The post-its are stuck in unusual places, peoples email addresses are on tiny slips of paper that we hope we haven't lost. New friendships have been forged and old friendships re-kindled. Lots of sleepy people left Vegas sleepier but feeling like they had found something that they never thought they would have. A community of people who understood what it was like to be "like me".
It was a very satisfying 3 1/2 days for both of us, my husband and me. He found a group of people who understood what it was like for him, living with a person with Narcolepsy. I found a group of people who understood me. Who validated me. Who made me feel like I wasn't such a weirdo.
Maybe next year, when the convention is in Cleveland, the MNSG could rent a bus and go to Cleveland en Mass . . .
