About Me
Im married with 3 married children and 8 grandchildren. Recently diagnosed with MND has made me put things into prospective and prioritise.I knew what was ahead of me [I nursed someone with MND] but when the diagnosis came it was not easy to take. I kind of new last dec I questioned MND with Drs but guess what Drs didnt listen. Whats important to me. My Family who are so caring and each new day. I try to be thankful for each day. I wake up each morning and say thankyou God its a lovely day, warm and im here.Sometimes I cant even say that but I try. Be encouraged make the most of every day
