I read these stories and realize how lucky I am. My family immediately either researched for themselves or asked for books from me to learn about MS. My Mother kind of babied me with my MS unless she needed something. But she is gone now and I know I will miss everything she said or did whether it was good or bad. My sister has numerous illnesses and she loves to tell anyone everything about them, whether they want it or not. So I know she will take the conversation. My kids love me and they protect me yet push me. I can always count on my youngest daughter to do most of the cooking and whie doing that see where I an to see if I am cool enough. She will bring me busy stuff because she knows I want to do something. But all the while she won't make me feel like I am an invalid or baby. My other daughter, well that's another story.She won't let me do much either but she doesn't do much either.
