an education

64a

While my children completed yet another year of their schooling and are absorbing the early days of their summer break, I have set out on some learning of my own.

61a

I fell apart for a bit.  Like in a bad way.

34a

One sunny spring day I sat trembling in a doctors office as she tried her best way to tell me I have multiple sclerosis. 

A disease I knew nothing about.

But I’m learning.

26a

It affects everyone differently.  For me it started with my vision and some hand arm coordination issues.

It brought me way down.

But here I am. Now. Today.

I am happy.  I am grateful.

I have faith. And hope.

I have so many people to love.

35a

Things are getting better every day. 

I’m not afraid anymore.

I hesitated to blog about this.  But it is me, a big part of me.  The hardest thing I have been through ever.

60a

People go through stuff, and I am going through this.

I can still take care of my family, I can dance and eat lobster.

I can sew and laugh and swing at the park.

It took a while for me to realize all this.

I am so grateful.

For God.

For Life.

For Love.

For You!
