Chapter 5
«They»
(... continued ...)

Project Star Academy gave Gregory very important thing: being in the such a long period away from his family, which has always surrounded him with care and watch over him, he was forced to learn how to look after themselves completely on their own. И он открыл для себя, что все возможно, что одна только сила воли может помочь отодвинуть муковисцидоз на второй план. Он пришел на Стар Ак, чтобы осуществить a dream that belonged only to himself. And when he came out, I realized that could serve as an example and other children and adults suffering from this disease.
course, not all patients with cystic fibrosis found himself in Gregory, maybe not all of them raised his fate, but some of it just touched very deeply. For example, there was one child who refused to drink plenty of water and brought it in desperation the entire medical staff of the hospital. And when he saw that on TV show as Gregory is constantly walking around with a big bottle of water in hand, he relented and admitted that drinking plenty of fluids is very important for his body.
Many patients wanted to talk to him, tell us about your situation. And often, Greg answered them:
- Look, because everything is possible! The main thing - move, you can do it and all achieve. Do not wait until someone do something for you!
Most often, they tried not to meet in person, because I always was a risk to pass each other infectious bacteria - is that only talk to the mask. This upset Gregory, but he knew that otherwise it's dangerous.
In 2005, the Star Academy tour, Greg served in Lyon. He came out to greet the fans who stuck to the specially designed barriers, and suddenly one monsieur gave him for his little hands daughter and asked: "Chmokni her, she adores you!". Gregory, of course, kissed the child, and then the girl's father with a smile he added: "She has cystic fibrosis, as you have. " And then Greg could not resist:
- Monsieur, after all, how can you be so irresponsible? Do not you know that CF patients can not kiss each other? Are not you afraid that your daughter can pick up the infection ...
- No, nothing terrible, but it is very nice!

And today with all of these patients we are dealing with Pierre, we continue to carry them the message that aired Gregory. And very often we are faced with the teenagers in the midst of the age crisis, which in principle do not wish to comply with any restrictions and refuse treatment. And then I tell them ...
Y Gregory was also a moment age of fifteen or sixteen, when he was sick of everything. He watched his friends play in the yard without him, and he at that time was forced to stay home and take either session kinesitherapy or drip with antibiotics. Yes, of course, it's not fun to spend two or three times a day for a whole hour on a drip, it all begins with a five-thirty in the morning, and so for at least two weeks. Gregory refused to consent to treatment and only when it was already quite unbearable. Conversations kinesitherapy he too could not tolerate, especially when it seemed that he was better. It was a constant source of conflict between us. I pestered him:
- Baby, you take your meds? You made inhalation? In many today come kinesitherapist?
Life was a burden to him. Once the treating the doctor called him in to talk face to face.
- Gregory, do not let the Cystic Fibrosis decide for you. Only you have to take power over him and decide when to you treat and when not to.
No, it will not solve cystic fibrosis. By the way, we often shorten this long name, and so familiarly talking about this disease, "Muko" as if she were our friend, but actually it is - the worst enemy that blatantly interferes in your everyday existence. In the end, Gregory realized that with such a treacherous enemy not a single day to give yourself the slack. When he learned that will participate in Star Academy, he thanked me that I was not left behind from him and still made sure that he was treated: "Mom, how did I was then an idiot."
Yes, life has a price - the daily effort. And often these teens, I talked to, soothes the fact that Gregory also experienced a period of doubt. But he was able to stand on the right path and pull myself together. And I always I hope that his example will inspire them.

Sometimes the site of the Association named Gregory Lemarshalya come and other evidence. I recently read a story one teenage girl, who told how she has matured thanks to Gregory, and that she could never find a common language with other students. Exactly like my son. This early spiritual maturity is very common in children with cystic fibrosis. I also remember another girl, who at twelve years awaiting lung transplant, and quite grown-up and calmly explained to me - with a smile from ear to ear and glowing eyes - how much she was lucky that it always поддерживает ее семья, и что у нее нет никаких проблем с успеваемостью. Она вся буквально лучилась позитивом, несмотря на то, что зло всегда так близко к ней. This is the real lesson for us all: we have no right to complain about our petty ailments and pains of life, when we meet face to face with the humanity those who are really sick.

Humanity. Here is what I said. It is the same word, which for me is best summed up the essence of Gregory. And I often heard this word, and read about it after April 30, 2007. And I think that just because the word so well describes Greg, at his funeral May 3 and it was so crowded. Pierre was right in our church in Sonnaze would be too small for a few thousand people who come from completely different places that day. Well, we could count on the help of Mayors Sonnaza and Chambéry, and were able to inveterate it in the cathedral of this city.
Before we went there to acquainted with his father Bryunetti - he replaces that of the priest, who usually conducts the service in the Cathedral of Chambery, and which at the time was away on missionary cases. Father Bryunetti managed to reconcile me to the church, in spite of my pain. He was willing to listen carefully to me and asked to tell him about Gregory. He wanted know everything about its history, he asked me good questions. I answered him, and his cheeks I constantly tears flowed, and I saw that he was close to that of tears. Later I learned that he was specifically searching for information online before burial service, to better understand Gregory, better learn how it is perceived by other people and get to know him. It seems to me that he had at that time, doubts about the taste of "show business" on the service, he was afraid that most people come to the funeral is not for those reasons. But later, during one of our many meetings, he told me that I was very pleasantly surprised by the commonality of spirit that prevailed in the day, and that it angered the fact that the so-called "intelligent" the press has devoted care Gregory just a few lines. In his opinion, this they did not bother to really understand what he was Gregory, and what he meant to so many people.

And yet, one day his father came to Bryunetti me pretty angry. After reading many blogs on the Internet and notebooks on display in the cathedral for special messages to parishioners, he learned that the fans Gregory is not angry with life, as so often happens when death takes away a young man, and instead simply assured that Greg is still alive but is simply "somewhere else". But only in extremely rare cases, this confidence was mingled with the name of God, and was never mentioned by Jesus Christ. As if these people death is simply another dimension, totally secular, not related to the heavens. And it hurt even more - as church leader - is the fact that about my son constantly told that he was an angel descended to earth to fulfill its mission.
- Laurence, you of course, be offended at me. But I must tell you: Gregory was not an angel ...
- Why do you think I offended? I completely agree with you. Just Gregory came to be called an angel because he exuded on stage, the purity of his voice, especially after he performed SOS d'un terrien en détresse , but I understand that my son is such a as a man of flesh and blood, as we all do.
And in that moment I did not ask him what he thought about it, but personally, I am deeply convinced that we let and we will not be called angels, but still everyone has some sort of mission on earth, which he must do ...

I myself went through this service as a sort of timeless cocoon, with a strange impression that I'm there, and at the same time, I was not there, I like looking from side to things, meanwhile, occurred with me. I know that the service was very beautiful, full of emotions, is simple. Such as Gregory himself. And I just do not have enough words to thank is a huge number of strangers, friends, artists, people close to Gregory with TF1 and Universal - all of them came to say goodbye to him and surrounded by our family care and support. To me all the time back one strong memory. It is associated with the singer Lucie Silvas, who arrived from London on his own initiative. I can see how she comes to the cathedral, in solitude, with a rucksack on his back, without telling anyone, even their manufacturing company. She met Greg a few times - on video shoot Même si , during the promo of the single and in Olympia, where they sang a duet. But do not speak the same language, to know each other. And do not it was necessary to know a lot Gregory, to love him.
