    Finding HCMA is like finding my lost family

    Hi all.
    I cannot express in words my feelings on finding this great site and reading many pages for several hours. Each new page, each new story overwhelmes me. I am now a partner to your thought process, your joys and sorrows, apprensions and hopes. Till I saw this site, the only HCM people I knew were my father and brothers. Suddenly, in a few days I find myself part of my long lost global family. Thank you Lisa. Thank you all those who alongwith Lisa have made it possible. I know you are doing it with all your hard work, hearty involvement and also money. We know what it is to live with HCM and we are not alone. I am glad, I got connected to you all through the interent. I will keep posting. I will also tell you my story.
