    Hi, Nicole,

    Thanks so much for this wonderfully grounded post. Chronic illnesses and diseases cost us a lot; they cost our family a lot. But your love for your kids and the wonderful life you've built for your family despite all of this just shines through in your post, and I thank you for this breath of fresh air.

    Thanks again,
    Teri

    I don't know why I haven't responded before because I thought about how close my husband and I have become in part because of how tenderly he cares for me through this disease.

     

    Actually I do know.  The pain, and now the freedom from pain that allows me to (gasp!) go outdoors, basically enjoy things that I haven't been able to for about 10 years.
