Living
with Multiple Sclerosis as a family I used to feel was a parallel universe …
and frankly it still is but when changes in other family members occur it
becomes more like a benevolent maelstrom … swirling together Patti’s MS, my
lung cancer DX, and the death of Patti’s father.
Through
Patti’s eyes (MS dementia and cognitive impairments) I have no lung cancer, her
Dad’s in heaven and an afternoon of family fun is just that … fun and laughter.
She is practically the straw that stirs the drink.
Empowered
by our daughter boldly facing the unimaginable herself … listening to their banter
driving … I sit in awe.

I'm impressed that Marilyn Monroe joined the group today! She is looking good as always! (I have always thought she was perfect in so many ways!)

and I heard she was just a candle in the wind :) she certainly was light and easy to carry around, then again not many people except me would rearrange a museum for a photo :)
DeletePatrick,
ReplyDeleteKudos to your daughter for stepping in when/where needed. She has obviously learned well from one of the Jedi-masters of caregiving.
