In honor of Maia’s devastating death (food allergy is the main suspect) our food allergy community is wearing rainbow colors today! In a very eerie moment in time, on the day Maia died, she announced that she wanted to put the fun back in funeral and wanted to not wear black at her funeral. It is always sheer pain to write about our food allergy and asthma community losing a child, but the hope is that these little angels bring us lessons through their stories that will save many, many others. We simply must pay attention to the message and honor their young deaths.

One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
