Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 , Life does change with this illness. This was going to be our year. Retirement coming up. Freedom. Travel. Running around with our friends. Home repairs. Getting reacquainted. As it is, this may be the year I die. How is that for change? My story is minimal when compared to the young Mom's and Dad's who only want to live to raise thier own kids. Or, those waiting to hold that first grandbaby. I hate this disease. I like the term that Gwynne used..."the dirty thief". I am not bitter and I never say "Why me"? But, I feel free to hate this horrid disease freely. This is my enemy. He will not take me without a fight. You are a great addition to our crew. Glad to have you here.
