Dear Edith, How wonderfully said! It is for this very reason you so eloquently stated, that I am here before you all, strangers and yet through the years of my dad's struggles and victories; family. I believe in the spirit of the people who struggle with this disease and their tremendous abilities. It is out of honor to you all and to honor my dad, that I have told his story to you. I in no way desire to bring pain, only to help someone avoid it, if I can. Thank you Edith! Johanna Thompson __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
