Melanie, Thanks for sharing...I feel this was my "Que"
I read this a few days ago...I think this is what made me finally 'come out of the closet'.
I am a fellow Lymie and I've posted my newbie story in 'General Support" since reading this. I feel am a team player now and want to help out in any way I can!
Thanks for bringing me out! Take care -laserred-

This is superb. Thanks so much. I think I'll pass it along to our North Texas Support Group Leader.
You probably already know, but this same storyline appears in the book, "Why Geese Fly Farther Than Eagles" by Bob Stromberg.
It's a compilation of (true-life...I think??)short stories you can read to school-aged children & beyond. It'll tug at your heartstrings-----no matter what your age is.
I read this book to my son so the book is over l0 years old. (Amazon.com sells used ones, but if you go to www.bobstromberg.com you can purchase new ones.)

I hadn't seen this before. (The original post was from a few months before I stumbled in here.)
Thank you, Melanie! I needed that.

OH Boy...tears in my eyes.
I dedicate the above geese story to all those who helped get my Jazzy Power Chair up and running again on this lyme web site and to others who have seen a need that they could do something about and did it.

Sounds like they headed your way.
