Thursday, December 04, 2008 at 03:55 PMThey sure are. Today we found out that my dad has prostrate cancer. My youngest broke down and cried. I told her that she is going to have to be strong, she went by to see her grandpa he was alright with it so she got all right. My father and I are alike, we are dogs when they get a wound, they go off alone, by themselves to heal. Well that is how we are. He is fine with it and so am I, he will be all right. I have told her she has got to be strong, she said that now that she has seen her grandpa and he seems all right, she is now all right. He told her to help take care of your mom. She told him, "granddaddy, have you got any rope, because that is the only way we are going to be able to keep you daugther still". He just laughed.

Mandy I know how you feel. When I told my girls my youngest on cried, my oldest on took it like a pro to my surprise. We deal with the different issues that come up on a as need basis. My biggest problem with MS is fatique. So we go from day to day. They take turns pushing me in my wheelchair in the afternoons which is when the fatique really kicks in. I think they get a kick out of pushing the wheelchair. Yes we have some challenges, but our family understands more than we give them credit for. My youngest daugther is learning to be strong, my oldest daugther has surprised me and is strong. Mandy it is all good. Our magic pill is just over the horizion!
