One Day At A Time

Life has dealt us (us meaning those with MS) a bad hand,
         But we all can deal with it;
Sometimes, it is harder than other times
         to accept what we have been dealt.
There are those times we fall more, we shake more, we lose control more,(both our bladders and tempers), complain more, and pop pills more.
         And there are those times we see less, we sleep less, we cook less, we clean less,            and yes even control our feelings less.
One minute we will be happy, conversing with our spouse, family members, or friends in a civil tone, even laughing.
         While the next minute we will be screaming and crying and saying,"You don't care or            understand what I am feeling or what I am going through".
We never really mean to hurt you or take our fears and frustrations out on you, but because we love you and you are always there for us, we seem to hurt you, our spouse,
         Our children, our Moms and Dads, brothers and sisters, and dear, dear friends for being          there and putting up with our many mood swings and our shortcomings.
We will be able to accept this hand life has dealt us but only with your help and understanding, and together, standing side by side, we will take ONE DAY AT A TIME,
                   WE LOVE YOU!!!!!
 
 
Dedicated to all the ones we love.
