your story has touch me so. My sister in law was just diagnosed with this horrible disease. I don't know what is worse, wathching her, or my brother and their two kids deal with this. I am very close to her so this is very hard for me. I can't imagine what you went through and my heart goes out to you and your family. All we can do is hold on to them while they are with us and cherish every moment we have.....
