The first half of my life was a struggle. The second half...full of serendipitous moments. My husband, my children, my career, my life - full and beautiful. In the midst of all of this a Dx of MS at 43 years old.
Had I been Dx'd when I first showed real signs by amazing, beautiful, prescious daughter would likely never have happened. Thank goodness for a wrong Dx.
If I hadn't been Dx'd I wouldn't likely have returned to school to fulfill my dream.
If not for MS I would have enjoyed a fun vacation with my family.
If not for my Dx I wouldn't have pushed myself to take a dream vacation with my 83 year old Mom and younger sister.
MS is a part of me....but I does not define me. It helps me to be more brave then I thought I could be.
MS is not the boss of me. It may one day win, but it's going to have to pick up its game 'cause I have no intention of quitting or losing...ever!!
