I want to thank Chrissy for her poise and grace and courage.  What a lovely spokesperson for those who are facing lifechanging events!  I am truly enjoying the fact that I can hear her on the radio on HER terms - as a voice only, so I am not fighting with my natural human curiosity to SEE the physical differences, as most of us who still rely primarily on visual cues will do.  I can truly SEE who she is in this way!  How about a career in radio for such a well-spoken young woman, OPB?  Got a place for such a talented woman as a volunteer?  Kudos also for the natural way she chose to unveil her new face to her child in a safe, comfortable environment, putting her child's needs above the drama so many of us would be attempted to create by doing it in a more dramatic manner.  Great Mommy!!
