Week 2 of my internship with Cooley's

Ok so not much new to post today. I am still working on my article, I want to make sure it's perfect. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a perfectionist and can get a little ocd sometimes (more like alot all the time). But so is the life i guess. I am really feeling good about working here. I would be lying if I said it wasn't difficult at times. It does get emotionally challenging, especially like I said before when talking about treatments and people with Thal staying in good health. It gets to be very hard to deal with many days once again just wishing Ian had taken care of himself better before I knew him. I get by though thinking I am making a difference, I am doing something not just sitting around talking about it. I am actually doing something about it. I was thinking while I was in the office what it would be like for Ian to come visit. I know he would have been very excited to see what the foundation does instead of just reading the newsletter. Yesterday I realized the Cooley's Anemia cause on facebook, isn't actually linked to the foundation. The cause that is linked to the foundation is called Cooley's Anemia Foundation. I sent new invites out, but I just want to put it here also. Sorry for any confusion, I know I send out invites all the time for the other one. But please accept the invites for the Cooley's Anemia Foundation. You can do both but the one with foundation in the title actually benefits the foundation. That brings me to my new task, today I am creating the Cooley's Anemia Foundation fan page. This will hopefully prove more beneficial than the group. With the fan page you will be able to "like" the foundation and there will be more pictures, features, and maybe advertising. Once the page is made we will be able to assess that aspect better. As for what I've been doing in NYC, yesterday I walked around central park with a friend of mine that lives here. I am so happy that she is also here to hang out with. She is a wonderful person and I appreciate her support and letting me vent when everything gets me down or frustrated. I also found John Lennon's apartment building yesterday. It's beautiful I wallked all around it and stood where he was shot. It was a very strange feeling. The area is so beautiful I can't even imagine anything bad ever happening there. It's an odd thought I suppose, it kind of reminds me of my situation. He woke up that day not knowing what was going to happen, Just like Ian and I woke up on that Tuesday in December not knowing what would happen. John lennon died on a Monday in December. It is odd the way lives are connected in strange coincidences. I decided yesterday I am going to stop at that apartment bulding on my way to my upper west side apartment everyday. I like to think that Ian and John met now, I like to think that they watch me stop there on my way back from work. It may be a silly notion I know, but it's the little things that get you by. I found a great family style restraunt on that same street. When Ian's family comes to visit I plan on taking them there. Well back to the rest of my day. I will post more photos and entries as the week goes on.
