My brother tells me patience is a virtue, gracefull I am not, careful I am. My sister-in-law, who is my wonderful physical therapist and really a person who understands me most has helped a lot. She told me about this site. I have a 10 yr old girl who is wonderful and teaches me things I forgot. She teaches me things I didn't know in school. She isn't real graceful either, but she like me, does her best |
