I received the most beautiful e-mail yesterday from a lady whose mother has Parkinson’s. I was very touched and moved by her heart-warming words, which let me know each day as I sit here writing to the world, not knowing who is reading what I write, that someone somewhere knows exactly what I am going through. Only a fellow Parkinson sufferer can truly understand what it is like to live each day with this terrible debilitating disease that robs us of our dignity and pride. There are millions of Parkinson’s sufferers throughout the world, and we are united in our daily struggles and our deepest wishes that a cure be found quickly. I have been given the opportunity of helping others through my writing, but strangely, like a boomerang, I often receive in return support and comfort from complete strangers, who are part of the “Worldwide Parkinson Family” we find ourselves part of. I wish you all well and thanks in particular to a lady for taking the time to write to me – you made my day!
