I saw my dad yesterday, and I squeezed him so tight he got tears in his eyes. My daddy has MS and isnt doing too well, the disease and his mega amounts of medications are making him have other symptoms too, like big purple leasions all over his body. Its terrible, but he is the STRONGEST man I have ever known! He refuses to use a wheelchair, which also has its downfalls, but I have never met anyone with so much persistence and will power. He is like one of the very FEW on the planet who have his stage of MS and still walks, and has been walking the longest!! Thats HUGE!! Hes getting old now, and I am so afraid of losing him. I see him and the big strong looking father I always knew is now a frail, thin man with loneliness and sadness in his eyes. Everything he worked so hard for all of his life is pretty much gone because of this disease. He has spent millions on treatments to no avail. His once busy, traveling lifestyle has been reduced to his home and the companionship of his dog and wife when she isnt working herself to death to try to maintain their finances. Although, it makes me sad, I choose not to treat my dad with Concern, because he wouldnt allow that anyway. I worry because he falls a lot and gets very badly hurt, quite often, but its his will for us not to treat him as if hes disabled. Someday I just hope he knows how much I have worried and how much I love him. All I can say for the moment is that my daughter Haley is literally killing him with worry, and breaking his heart with what she is doing to herself. It would be so nice if she cared about ONE person in this world more than she cares about her rotten (Bleeeeeeep) of a boyfriend and mostly HERSELF!
