To Debbie -- Thank you for sharing your father's feelings about your mother and the changes in her caused by pd (which he expressed so beautifully). I hope that my husband feels the same way about me because I still feel, in my heart, that I am eighteen, despite all the ways pd has changed me. I also have a thoughtful and loving daughter that I appreciate as much as I'm sure your Mom appreciates you and all the concern for her that you have shown. This kind of love is more thera- peutic than the doctors, the drugs, and the surgeries all put together! (..but I'm thankful for those things too!) <grin> Best Wishes to your Mom and Dad...
