Tears for you, my dear friend whom i have never met. Wise woman, elder, teacher --- now please teach us how to proceed out of here with grace---still believe in miracles, praying for your peace and illumination, and thanking you for sharing your soul with this profoundly strange fellowship that has drifted together here
With gratitude, respect and love |

Paula, this can't be happening. You're why I fight so hard. You are so strong.

although we have never met, I just know you are a nice person and your good nature reaches out. You have always made myself and others welcome on "the board" and I cannot help but feel angry that you have such bad luck with your health.
For the first time I really don't know what to say. Take real good care, Neil. |

jes123 : <QUOTE>i have just been hit by the proverbial 2 x 4; my world has been rocked and i am sad beyond belief. just this morning, i learned that a dear friend & fellow pd patient, paula from florida has been dxed with esophageal cancer.this is just the icing on the cake for dealing with the devestating effects of pd for over the past 20 yrs-
15 of those years as a very good friend to me...traveling to peoria to support me when i have had my fundraisers and galas. paula is always here-right where i needed her, dyskinetic as hell, and having the time of her life. paula especially loves the bands that i had to play at my events (ready, steady, go is a particular fave!). she can dance for hours unmindful of the pd for the short time that she can abandon herself to the music. i applaud her choice of quality of life rather than to undergo chemo and radiaation just to buy extra days. i love you paula and i am just a bit jealous. you are right when you say that parkinson's prepares you for death-in a good way. it forces one to set priorities and to live in the joy of the moment. thank you for teaching me to dance</Quote> |
