Kim, I wish that your results had been different. What a burden for you right now. But they are blessed with who you are and all you bring to them. My mother, one aunt, and my grandmother each had something rather horrible called progressive supranuclear palsy. Even though I know that I too might end my life as they did, I wouldn't change being "one of them" for anything. They gave me so much more than that possiblity of fate. They blessed me throughout my life with their love, courage, wisdom, and love of God that molded and shaped me for my good. May you be blessed with the knowledge that you give so much more than that gene and possiblity. The total you is so very much more. Love to you all, ma
