Please do not go I have more that “YOU” may want to hear.

There are many things that “YOU” must learn. Must in the sense that I wish for “YOU” the best possible Relapsing_Remitting ms (RRms) life. The best that “YOU” can have regardless of the uncertainties of this disease. The betrayals by family, lovers and friends. The odd looks from strangers. There is much to do. I feel that sitting here and listening might be a good start. I most certainly do not have all of the answers that “YOU” may need, but a few hints that may help. Remember the answers are within “YOU” They are not outside in the ether. Many skills that will take “YOU” through this mslife are already in “OU”. My words merely remind “YOU” that “YOU” are strong enough to live well with this disease. The strength is within “YOU” Seriously is is within “YOU”, it merely takes “YOU” time and open eyes to see that. Give yourself every possible opportunity to succeed. Look at a failure as a temporary setback, not as a huge unclimbable sheer cliff face. Look at it as an obstacle in your road. A log or rock that is an inconvenience to have to walk around. Not as something that never can be crossed or moved around.

Your RRms and mine can be an opportunity to find a new path. Perhaps not what we expected and planned for in our life but what was meant to be. Perhaps a straight flat path is not what we need, to become our greatest selves. To achieve true fulfillment in our life. Writing to “YOU” is most certainly NOT what I ever thought I would do. 3 years ago I never would have thought I would do this. Yet here I am Post 589, allow it, and life will take “YOU” in directions that “YOU” never thought possible.

Treat your RRms as a catalyst for “YOU” to make something more of yourself. Never compare yourself to others, their path is theirs. I would never disparage some of the art work, photos, poems that I see in this family. I do not think I could ever do that. I certainly could never clean and change a nappy\diaper, but “YOU” can. We all have ms and everybody's ms is different. We are all different and that difference makes us family. “YOU” are my siblings, I am your brother and we can live with RRms. Today, tomorrow forever, we will not be beaten.

Together we are strong
