Hi Don, Your letter touched me. I have PD, but I'm only 58, a spring chicken! My Dad had PD for a long time. Mom took care of him for almost 20 years until her own health started to go. Then she fed him his meals at the Nursing home for a year and a half until his condition worsened. He died in 1994, the week my younger daughter left town to go on her honeymoon. I think Dad held on until then so Mom would be able to enjoy the wedding and so the kids could get married without worrying about him so much. He could not TELL us that, but somehow we FELT it. You keep up the good work! You are not alone. It's difficult for family to understand what you are going through because it's hard for you to express in words your inner turmoil. I pray that they will accept whatever recognition you are able to show them and that they will catch a glimpse of the love you feel deep inside. Sometimes just holding hands or hugging can do the trick. And prayer. Try whatever YOU think best, but never give up, Don. Bye for now, Irene ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
