respect of our choices

[Guest guest]

Dear Jen and Heidi,

Thanks for saying what i wanted to say...but didn't. I quess I walked

away from the key board quite upset the other day, after the various

responses on having kids and not having kids. I need to analize my

anger at the responses and still be cognicent that we all make the

choice for us the is right and all choices should be respected.

I really wanted to say that I am glad my mom didn't know that we

would both get this disease and I am glad to be here, I have and do

have a wonderful life with many many blessings.

We are not our disabilities and all of us with this condition and

any of a multitude of other diseases and disabilities are important

to somebody, loved by somebody, a hero to somebody and we and make

endless small and great contributions to our society, our families,

and our friends.

I think what it comes down to is that the two most important muscles are the

heart and head. And maybe the only important one is the heart, because no matter

who we are, we are the person somebody loves, the person somebody loved or the

person somebody will love.
