I can’t give up. . .and there 

are times I want to throw the 

towel in. But there is some 

fighting desire so deep inside 

me that comes through 

when I think I can’t be helped. 

NEVER LOSE HOPE.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I grieve for the person I was before

being diagnosed and I’m working

on who I’m supposed to be now. I’m

sick a lot, but on the good days, I see

so much more of what’s important

and a little purpose of what I am.

And that is to help find a cure to this

ravishing disease.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In my opinion, this information

should be made known so others do

not have to suffer alone ... It helped

me a great deal finding out I was not

the only one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am not the person I was 2 years ago, and

I am certainly not the partial person I

was 20 months ago. Believe it or not, this

different person is happy, happy with life


The amazing Chinese bamboo plant offers a mirror image to some of life’s simplest secrets – patience and roots.

Through the bamboo plant we are reminded that even with years of constant and consistent nurturing we don’t always see the rewards of our efforts.

Yet, if we keep from being discouraged and walk in faith, things will begin to happen. Just like the bamboo, our hopes and dreams will take root and when they do watch out!
