Thank you to all for your continued encouragement. This site has been an absolute blessing to me since I found it. I have learned so much. I just spent my first holiday without my Mom & it was tough, but I am thankful to have a 5 year old daughter to keep my spirits up. I think sometimes, the youngest people can teach us more than we ever imagined. She has been a great source of support & encouragement for me & I hope when she is older that she understands that. Again - thank you & I hope that one day we can conquer this awful disease. I'll be back to hopefully lend an encouraging or thoughtful note to someone.
