His wife even left, she was so tired of it all.<BR/><BR/>We met through disability support (I have atypical M.S.) Doctors don't know what to do to help him anymore. Nice man, very smart - not much of a life.<BR/><BR/>Like myself, spends it raising his kids (when he can) and in bed.<BR/><BR/>Thank you again - I will keep praying for him.Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10793044176961385860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31699898.post-91260885808236053152008-02-04T20:10:00.000-05:002008-02-04T20:10:00.000-05:00Dear Barbara,<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry to hear about your friend.

It is an important component that helps connect us to everyone around us.<BR/><BR/>Great post!Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10793044176961385860noreply@blogger.com
