Indeed, you are doing a great thing to honor your sister.

When MS takes over one’s life, there are so many of the little things that become a burden to do, and that’s the time when you wish you enjoyed those little things more.

However, don’t lose hope! Today, CCSIV – the liberation therapy – proved to be very helpful in the treatment of MS symptoms. Also, stem cell therapy seems to provide the cure for those that have MS. Unfortunately for the moment both treatments are still awaiting FDA approval, but soon, hopefully, they’ll be available and everyone with MS will be able to do all those things that they can’t do anymore.

Tammie

You are an inspiration to so many,, one superbly talented writer and most importantly …..I believe you’ve led your life the way that we all should,,,,but few do…….You are a true….”liver of life!”

Thank you for sharing your visions and thoughts.
You are one incredibly special woman and Tom is one lucky man!

Nothing you’ve accomplished,,, or the fascinating and marvelous way you’ve strung together words to tell your awesome stories, has surprised me in the least. The public part of it,,, well,, yeah,,, I guess THAT is a bit of a surprise….but even with that, I realize it’s a perfect example of how you tackle challenging and difficult obstacles in your path head-on to pursue your continuing growth and evolution.

Much health and continued happiness so you can continue to touch so many lives by following your passions~ and sharing your perspectives in words and photos. We are lucky.

My prayers are with your sister~
…always & forever~

Yep. No question. Lisa has fire. I remember as a young boy in the house with her countless times I would try to get out of doing chores. Mom and Dad left her in charge while they were gone. And Tammie, even at this early age, was on some darn ‘solo’ road trip somewhere. Back at the ranch, Lisa and I battled. I would wage war on the vacuum cleaner hoping to damage it or tear a wire (when she wasn’t looking of course) to diffuse the threat of actually having to use it. But Lisa persisted. Every time I would stop the vacuum she would find me and ask, “Why did ya stop?” So I’d begin again, and again and again. And Lisa persevered always holding my feet to the fire. I suppose this is where she got her early training in determination. I remember those days like they were yesterday. I love thinking about those days and this blog post made me think of them. I thought much about Lisa, too. And I remember even then Tammie was trying to help all of us “cross off” things from our list. For that and much more, I am thankful to both of them. All my love to you both…sisters.

Our strength comes from generations of perseverance? and as I feel that I inheirted it correctly….”piss and vinegar”, from our wonderful Gom! I am no stronger than the next person, if put in the same situation. I use to say that life was not fair, at a point so long ago, I realized, What made me think that I was any better than the next guy that bad things happen to? Thinking of that now and reading what you have written, my views have changed somewhat. I am better than many out there….because I have an extremely wonderful sister that loves me so much and a fabulous family that does also! Life can deal you unspeakable torment, but if you have someone there with you to ease and support you part of the way, It makes the climb not so ‘solo’….
