I became in contact with Katrin over a internetside for pen pals.Since that time we have regularly contact!That’s nearly already one year ago. I think, Katrin forgets sometimes that she has TAR. She talked about her disease one day-just like that. I was totally confused because I have never heard it although I make training the nurse.
Immediatley on the next day I aksed my teacher in our school but even those were helpless and didn’t know what TAR-Syndrom meant. I was surprised how loosley Katrin speaks about herself.I thought: Great!
I can imagine that you learn to deal with an handicap like that. But I think Katrin has sometimes really to gnaw on it (I hope I am right Katrin!).
In my eyes Katrin is self-confident but on the other side very sensitiv and emotional. She is a Person who can write with her endless mails and talk about everything. We discussed in our mails about many things. Themes about I can not talk with my Friends or themes I really don’t want to talk about with my Friends.
And that makes my feel really good. She is interested in things like I am but no want to share it with me. Katrin is a really good friend of mine. The best e-mail friend you can have.
Be yourself and don’t let push you under.
Yours Maike
