A Note From Judy

A note from Judy:

I want to take this opportunity to tell all of you who follow us at Parkinson’s Journey how grateful I am and how comforting your many notes and calls of sympathy have been to me and my family in the death of my mother, Becky Good. We all have different ways of expressing our care and concern, and I thought of how this example below might be good to write in a rhyming beat.

Someone recently sent me a “care package” in the mail,

The content of which I hope they don’t mind if I tell.

It was sent from their heart without any request

I’ll just tell you the sender is ‘one-of-the-best’!

She uniquely knows the struggles we share

And tackles life with PD as anyone would a good dare.

She inspires so many others as well as me

with her words about life at Parkinson’s Journey.

It brings a smile on my face from ear to ear

When I think of the things we both hold so dear.

Things like pictures of pretty flowers,

Time spent with family and friends

And a faith that sustains us each and every hour.

Then there is the chocolate connection.

A common fav’e is the almond M&M confection

Even though we live so very far away

It seems that we have found common things along our life’s pathways.

I know I am pleased to call her friend and I say:

Thank you Sherri for the Oreos, M&M’s and the flower cards and all the other ways you have expressed your care and concern over the last few weeks and days!

oh and by the way, even though i joined Curves to lose some weight

I feel i must consume these goodies…it is just my fate!!!

lol
