My Father's Life

[Guest guest]

please forward this letter to your meeting. I can only prayer and hope that

someday there will be a cure and detection for such a disabling condition.

Dear Sirs,

I commend you and your fellow researchers on giving us caregiver and suffers

of these neuro-disorders insight on how this dieses affects thousands of

souls worldwide, not only as patients, but as caregivers, loved ones and

friends. Your work is greatly appreciated and very highly encouraged to move

on to a cure.

I have only heard of your organization and this disease within the last

months of my father's life, a life which my father went from the patriarch

of my wonder extended family to a helpless, withered man in less than a

year. My father's name is Manual Lujan and was honored my President Bush for

a 51 years Civil Service career in Quality Assurance for the U.S. Air Force,

a career that encompassed the servicing and refueling of the Enola Gay on

her way to Tinnin in World War II, the development and management of the

Maverick, Sidewinder and Bullpup missiles, development of the radar

scattering skin of the, then unknown F-117 and B-2, to mentoring thousand of

young GI's in the start in aircraft management/maintenance. My father died

October 8, 2002 in a foster care home while my mother held him and listened

for his last breathes. We were told at the end, that Parkinson's does not

cause this rapid decline in health as this possible condition call multiple

system atrophy, or MSA. The combination of dyskinsia and rapid increase of

intolerance to Sinemet lead our doctor to say " I've done all I can for him.

I'm sorry, it's too late " . How could we let out beloved father, teacher,

mentor, uncle, brother, boss, and utmost, husband, loose the ability to

communicate, to laugh, joke, love and then die? This disease is unfair,

unsympathetic, and cruel. If you and you colleague my find only on faint

glimmer of hope and extend the quality of life for thousands of people like

my father. then my dreams, hope and prayers are with you. Good Speed to a

cure
