My Dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's 5 years ago. With hindsight, he had been showing the symptoms of it for 10 years previous.

Me and Dad have always been close and always got along well, but too my surprise we have become closer as a result of his Parkinson's. Before Dad had Parkinson's I was a lazy loser, now Im running the "A to Z of Marathons" next year to raise money for Parkinson's. Although I am desperate for Dad to be cured of this disease, there has been som epositives come from it.

Parkinson's changes the lives of not only the people who get Parkinson's, but also their families and friends. If you have children, they will be more sensitive, caring, supportive human beings for having a father with Parkinson's disease.

Go for it and enjoy the baby making process!!!
