So while many of you are happy and excited to see another year pass, eager to start anew with the next year...I sit here conflicted with my thoughts. 2014 was a very trying year for me & my immediate family. From my kids to Roberts wife...weve all had our fair share of heartache. Watching the one you love slowly decline in his disease is heartbreaking in every way. This year, I noticed the most with Robert. From his speech & his walk, to his uncontrollable movements...this was the year that I knew and had to admit to myself there was no stopping this disease. No matter what treatments I found, and what we tried...HD has something else in mind. I dont want to look forward to 2015 with dreaded eyes, but its inevitable when you know how hard your son is struggling. Robert struggles to walk...but he keeps walking, while he struggles to talk...he keeps talking. He is fighting this every step of the way. I hope this new year brings me the same kind of strength my son exemplifies. I hope this new year brings the HD community some hope to hold on to, brings myself some hope to hold on to. Because without hope, one can lose the vitality to live. So while the fear of this disease progressing further in my son keeps me from looking forward to 2015, I will embrace the faith I have that together with the love we have for one another, we can fight this disease with the only way we know how...with the love that God has blessed us with. 2015 will bring us many happy moments despite our heartaches...this momma will make sure of it. So for my last post in 2014...I wish you all strength, I wish you all hope, but mostly, I wish all of you love. Love is enduring & everlasting. Love can carry us through the many torments in life. May your 2015 be filled with lots of love. Praying harder for a miracle in 2015. Cure Huntingtons Disease
