It is always an inspiration to hear storys of hope from people who have had pd for a long time like yourself Laura..I can remember the virtual count down to the nursing home going on in my mind, untill I met John Ball the marathon runner from Cailfornia at the WPC who had, had pd for 23 years at the time I met him a few years ago, and he's still running marthons, and still finishing

In a strange way, pd has brought alot of peace and acceptence into my life..It has brought some pain as well, and alot of changes..It has taught me the true meaning of gratitude, and has shown me the power of God's grace, and how it manifests itself under all conditions

The unconditional love of the PWP I have met has truly been a gift..From words on the internet, to meeting the folks behind the words has been an exciting adventure..I wish we were all neighbors
