If only medical research could be funded like military research. If you ever see a waisting disease like MS or Motor Neuron destroy some one you love you can think of no greater priority than finding a cure.<BR/>RichieRichiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13728288104897625768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234347550444887573.post-54606973726035945302009-01-02T13:41:00.000-08:002009-01-02T13:41:00.000-08:00That is a lovely entry Morton, so sweet.

MS is not a high-profile disease, but as you so vividly explain, it wrecks lives. You yourself are testimony to that.

We each struggle with disabilities. be they physical or mental, situational or environmental.<BR/>Some of us live bravely day to day on miracles. These are the ones that teach the rest of us life lessons.<BR/>They teach us faith and trust in something outside of ourselves and our own power. For me this is God. <BR/>They teach us humility and unselfishness.<BR/>God blesses our lives by the priveledge of having known them.junhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14297666218057914976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234347550444887573.post-72491812695516162102008-12-28T13:00:00.000-08:002008-12-28T13:00:00.000-08:00Dearest Morton,Thank-you for sharing this with you...Dearest Morton,<BR/>Thank-you for sharing this with your journal friends. I can not begin to know the heartache of these disease but only contact was with my first employer who fought it for probably for over 50 years. Dr. Walker was an Optometrist in my home town and I was blessed to have known him. I always thought his English tenacity helped him get through each day....<BR/>There was also a very young 22 year old in my town that succumbed to the MS very quickly.<BR/>I wish I could remember more specifics but recently I saw a person who has been doing research on this disease who believed he had found a possible cure for MS. I do not know if he was from my country, US or where but I will try to find out.<BR/>Thinking of you and Mum and hoping that the New Year will be one of less heartache...but remember there are those who care for you very much and of course the Almighty whose love is insummountable.<BR/><BR/>Love Alberta LORILori Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062904385944039920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234347550444887573.post-12238709472798983152008-12-28T11:06:00.000-08:002008-12-28T11:06:00.000-08:00Thank you Mort, for posting this lovely tribute to...Thank you Mort, for posting this lovely tribute to a brave young woman.

It destroyed her just as it did Alan. So young, so pretty. Thank you for remembering my son, Alan. He was very close in age to you and that is one reason I kept the last picture I ever took odf him from you and no one will ever see it except maybe his brothers and sister after I am gone and they run across the al;bum I made of his battle with MS. Most people have no idea how cruel it is. I do and that is why I keep telling you, you must use your strength wisely. I can only say thank you Mort for being my friend, and telling a little about Alan. YOU TAKE CARE, MORT.
