I have always held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of misery to an end. --Albert Schweitzer
Fact of the Day:
"My cousin Heidi was stricken around age 16 with a debilitating disease, which took her life about 20 years later. As the disease progressed, she became wheelchair bound and unable to easily communicate (I'm not sure of the disease -- it may have been a combination, including Parkinson's).When she was in her late 20's, she would often have her mother take her out into the front yard when the weather was nice so that she could sit in her wheelchair and watch the cars pass by. One day, my aunt was doing dishes and looked out the window to see a car pulled to the side of the road." What happened next was a brief and beautiful exchange that the author of this real-life story would never forget. [ more ]
