We have Parkinson's, so what else is new? I do not mean to be flip or uncaring but over the last few months I have had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people. If I had not had Parkinson's, I would of never had the best Easter Dinner and conversation I have had in a very long time. I would of never met a former Marine and his wife who are so giving and loving towards their family. I would of never met a gentleman who has so much living to do and I would of never met a former corporate attorney and his beautiful wife who happens to make the best cookies.
We are a small group all with very different outlooks on our disease. But those that are so important in our lives are our Caregivers. They are the glue that hold us together. I never realized how much they give, how much they sacrifice and what our disease has done to them. This is not how they saw their lives play out. None of them signed up for this but each Caregiver I have met or spoken with are amazing, gifted and loving people.
They should be honored for the sacrifices they make. So, I want everyone to know if you are a Caregiver in our small group, I am thankful and grateful to you for the love you show us and how well you take care of us. Yes, we have Parkinson's but more then that we have you.
