Maggie

One of our lovely neighbours Maggie has Parkinson’s disease.
She is amazing pushing herself all the time by walking, walking, walking. We see her going past our house two or three times a day.
Her husband Greg is also going through radiation treatment for throat & upper oesophagus cancer.
He on his fourth week of six & is finding it hard.
Nevertheless they have just walked past holding hands & out for their evening walk.
Always smiling too. I admire them tremendously.
Puts our troubles firmly in their place!

What a sad situation for the two of them, but it sounds as if they are making the best of it. It’s a lovely garden.

This is the kind of story I am hearing all too often. Aging is not easy.

What a sad place they are both in at the moment. My thoughts are with them.

[Dawn]

A tough time for both a nice shot

Oh my word. That does make you think. A sad, but inspirational story. I'd like to think I could be like them in a situation like that, but I'm not so sure. It would be so easy to feel sorry for yourself. But you have to get out there and battle the illnesses. I'm very impressed, and I could sense the emotion in your narrative. Lovely photo of Maggie.
