It's encouraging to me, and I feel to many more,
to see through the dark - yes, the torch still burns.
Pass it on. Pass it on .. a few more steps..
some may be weary, but we're almost there.

My Thanks
    for your post Mary,
    for your energy, and spirit Florence,
    and for the editor of The LA Times for printing the letter

 I am a 44-year-old active wife and mother who was diagnosed with
 Parkinson's disease two years ago.  I take medication three times a day and
 couldn't get through the day without it.  I am stiff and in pain every day
 but get up and exercise, as my doctor has advised and as I have done all of
 my life.  I do as much as I can physically do daily, to show my sons,
 husband and people I know that even with obstacles in life you have to keep
 trying and never, ever give up.
