    I like the previous note by Leonard as he’s right!! God knows how much your hard work has helped so many of us with this disorder, reaching out to others is helpful.

    You are nothing short of magnificent, my friend. Have loads of fun on your brief vacation. You deserve the best!
    FYI! I found an inspirational lyric from a worship song that caught my eye after the death of my husband of 20 years on Thursday, January 6, 2022. He was diagnosed with covid pneumonia. He never had pneumonia, Phylis!!! Then, I had to bury our little bichon yorkie of 14 1/2 years, little Freddie ‘Spaghetti’ Giordano, four months later on May 4, 2022. It has been a sad time. It will take years to get through this. This simple lyric says, ‘There is a BLESSING buried in the broken pieces (of life).” It resonated with me not only with his untimely death, but with my epilepsy growing up. This Blessing will push the epilepsy community in getting rid of the old guard by bringing in med beds and newer technologies that will serve our needs. From now on, we do what works for us FIRST.

    Love ya,

      Oh Mary+Ellen, how beautiful you are. I love the lyric: “There is a blessing born in the broken pieces of life.”

      Today as I return from the funeral of a best friend and suffer the loss of this noble, caring, generous soul, the lyrics are especially poignant.
