Reactions

Every time I share my story with a new friend or stranger it gets easier and easier. The reactions vary from surprise to silence to admiration to sadness. I recently met someone who was in a terrible bicycle accident and suffering from memory loss. We compared war stories and sang the praises of our spouses and the “load” they have undertaken as our partners.

Ron is always there for me. He listens and always manages to smooth a path for me to hop back on when I tend to lose my way. It is so scary to digest the unknown and what the future holds for us. However, there are known constants that remain intact as a foundation for us to fight, which is our family, friends and our tremendous love for one another. Without this support, it would be almost impossible to endure alone.
