For one perspective on how someone with a chronic illness is viewed by a friend, listen to the loving tribute offered on today's (10/27) Morning Edition. The illness in this case is MS, but the piece lovingly praises both the patient's courage and the caregivers' kindness. You can hear it by logging on to www.npr.org/programs/morning. If you do this before mid-morning on 10/28, click Listen To The Latest Show and then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the blue Kindness In Death feature which is described as follows: Commentator Baxter Black remembers his friend Jack, a cowboy who died from multiple sclerosis, and the kind people who took care of him during the last few months of his life. (2:55) If you check this out later, simply click the Listen To Archived Programs With RealAudio, find the 10/27 broadcast, and complete the steps listed above. If you don't already have RealAudio, you can download it for free from the Morning Edition web site. I highly recommend it: there's a whole world of free music, news, talk radio, etc. just waiting for you! Keith Chancey 45/14 months Memphis, TN
