No way, Kathy. No way. Keep giving the world outside the best parts of what's inside you! It's all any of us can ever do, sick or not. I am convinced that every single one of us is here for a reason and that includes you. Just imagine, this is the first post of yours that I've seen here, and your words really touched me.

I have MS and less than 10% of my former life. I tell you the truth, I have stayed remarkably busy in ways that I never dreamed would enter my life. This is it, the stuff between the major events is the stuff of life. I implore you to celebrate who you are and how you can contribute to the world. You're here, and we need you, right here, right now, just as you are!!!

And do thank your valiant son for me.
