Re: Post to Kate in response to a kind request

[Guest guest]

I would be honored to be your MS Mom.

Of course, you might have to put up with

the well-known quirks of the MS brain,

my odd sense of humour, and a few

anecdotes, but I would love it.Now if only I lived closer. . . . .

Love to you, Kate, and Thank you, so very much,

n

So, maybe you could re-introduce the kids, etc. M.~
