Barb, You've done it again, the lump in my throat is as large as the pond of unshed tears in my eyes! Were you always able to express your feelings this well in writing? My marriage partner of nearly 27 years has been my rock in this last couple of years. When we said, "Until death do us part" at ages 20 and 24, we never knew how stressful a diagnosis of a chronic illness could be. Thanks to my husband's patient, determined notion that we can survive my Parkinson's, I have come from stunned, sobbing, depressed female to my present roaring woman with Parkinson's state. Of course, I give myself some of the credit, my list family, my own family and friends and my neuro and my God, all of whom have said it may not be easy, but we'll get on with life. Thanks for another well written story, Barb! Have you and Marling submitted any manuscripts to those national magazines or to your local newspaper or pd newsletter yet? Maybe you could be on the next radio interview with Marling over the phone. Jeanette Fuhr 47/7mos. <[log in to unmask]> ----------
