I only have a few friends. A, J, C, and S. I only hang out with A on a daily basis. But the others are never far from my mind.
S just found out that she has MS last week. I don’t know what to say or do. So I told her I was sorry and offered to do her laundry. I couldn’t think of anything else.
She and her family are going to be doing an MS walk in Santa Barbara, and I told her I’d post the details here. I will as soon as she sends them.
Today’s quote I came across seemed especially appropriate today.
What do we live for; if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?
— George Eliot
I’m sorry about your friend. My mom was diagnosed with MS when I was maybe 12 or 13, but she’d had the symptoms for years before that. Right now she’s going through one of those real rough patches, but she’s never needed a wheelchair or anything like that. She still has her vision, etc., and she still works. Hopefully your friend will find herself as one of those who doesn’t end up quickly debilitated by the illness. 🙂
