I wanted to take a moment today to express my thanks to everyone who reads this and especially to those who respond. When I started writing I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew I needed an outlet for some of the thoughts that were floating in my head surrounding our journey with Parkinson’s Disease. Journaling gives me a place to vent my feelings, this blog gives me a place to explore those thoughts and feelings even more.

It is a struggle to understand why my husband was chosen by this disease and hope by chronicling some of the daily challenges it might start to make some sense. It helps me immensely knowing that we are not alone on the journey, that so many others share our struggles and can identify with some of what I write about.

Always remember when reading these words that all of our journeys will be unique based on how this awful disease presents within our lives. My husband’s challenges will drive where I go and what I write about. Take what works, leave what doesn’t and when I say things you really don’t agree with, please feel free to comment or ignore them. I am not trying to define the journey we all face, simply trying to make sense of mine. Thank you so much for coming along and sharing some of the ride.
