T'is the season to think about all things we are thankful for.  I feel fortunate to say that I have much to be grateful about this year.  I have Multiple Sclerosis and just had my annual MRI to see if there is any progression to my disease.  Today I received a very early phone call ...

    I would just like to say as adults we often get caught up in the fast pace world and our everyday walk in life and over look the little moments of joy or happiness in our day. We are more often to remember the bad things that happen to us rather than the good things. I'm grateful and thankful for my sons and need to slow down and enjoy them while they are still young before long they will be young men looking to make a life of their own.

     

    Thank you so much for your heart warming reminder and humble testimonial about you and your son Max! I hope others will read your words of encouragement and inspirations especially with all the adversities you face each day to live your lives. I will add you and your son to my prayer list and ask our church to pray for you and your family.

     

    May God Bless you and your family during this holiday season! May God bless you with the strength, support, love, care, patience, and help you need each and everyday!

    Thanks, Merely Me, for another great story.  Those few precious moments when we realize what we do have are like gold.  I've noticed lately how my son, Nick, interacts with his one-year-old nephew; he doesn't talk to him, but Jake looks at him until he gets him to smile, then they wave at each other.  I, too, have learned many things from Nick about getting along in life; like, you can ask for help and still keep your dignity.  Almost everyone who has helped him in his life has been very committed and has treated him with respect.  There were times when he was younger when I felt so overwhelmed by all the red tape and details required to get him what he needed, but many people were so helpful, some even said, "Here, I'll do that for you."  People who work with special needs kids are very special themselves, so selfless and caring, there aren't enough words to express how much it's meant.

    efbbbfI hardly write rpeeonsss, however i did some searching and wound up here this blog name. And I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Could it be simply me or does it look like some of the comments look like they are coming from brain dead visitors? And, if you are writing on additional online sites, I'd like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Would you list of every one of your public pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

    He sounds like a very special person. I think he would give thanks for the parents he has. It can't be easy much of the time, for any of you, but he has a safe place and is cared for and loved as any child would ever hope to be. What he can do, you all have given him at great effort and patience.

    Congratulations on your MRI results! No new lesions! A lot to bring joy to this holiday season. You write the best articles.

    I've been surfing onnlie more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

    I am looking to start my own blog, but I want to make sure it is on a ppaluor site where people will read it. I plan on discussing sports, video games and whatever else is interesting at the time. What are the best/most ppaluor sites to blog on?.
