I never met her..but one of our cyber family members just passed over....
Last month when I was feeling particularly low, she sent me a care package with pansy colored chocolates, and some other delectable things, but it was her enclosed note that captivated me .......she spoke so tenderly about Caleb , whose story she had been following since July 4th,almost as if she knew him. I could tell that she was genuinely concerned for my son and followed along with us each day...with all the ups and downs. . The encouragement in her voice was at the same time sweet and fierce and her message to me was to just be well.......just be well.
Just be well Maria--I will miss seeing your name among the others.

A BIG Thank You
In this season of giving thanks and celebrating family togetherness, I wish to extend a warm thank you to everyone who has been involved in a myriad of ways with my son, Caleb Potter, and his recovery. On July 4, he was involved in a skateboarding accident in our little hometown of Wellfleet on Cape Cod, that caused him serious injuries. He came home from Spaulding Rehab in Boston just before Thanksgiving. Through the blog we started:

how you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain. and, so it is with life, which for many of us becomes one big gigantic test followd by one big gigantic lesson. in the end, it all comes down to one word, grace. it's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, the darkness and the light.
Sharyn, thanks for letting us know about Maria. We truly are a cyber family here and to loose one of our own is heart breaking. Even though most of us have never met, I still feel that we all have a special bond and you, Caleb and your family are the corner stone that keeps us together. My thoughts and prayers go out to Marias family and friends! She will me missed!

In my mind , Maria is in a good place: not only with us in our hearts
but also in the warm embrace of our loved ones who have gone on before us. For my part, she is in very good company.
For the rest of Maria's family, I wish peace and heart's ease.
As always, with hope,

God Bless Maria and her family!!!
Dear Sharyn, I am Maria's Aunt and I want to thank you for taking time to write of Maria. Her family and ours have been keeping close watch on your and Caleb's journey and you are a source of inspiration to all of us.
Maria was truly a very special person with a heart so large and so very tender. Words can not express what her loss means to her family. We will miss her. Please keep us all in your prayers.
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. Sharyn, you are dancing, my friend.
I hope Maria's family will feel her spirit with them always, as one so loving and kind leaves a strong connection with those left behind. No coincidence that she reached out to you and Caleb, Sharyn. Caleb and you and all of those who have found this site so compelling continue to nuture each other's spirits. Thank you all.

So sad to hear this news...
I wanted to thank you all so much for your thoughts about prayers for my family. Maria loved Wellfleet - and I'm sure her soul is smiling at this right now. (As my family is, as well.) Bless you all and take care.
