Today is World MS Day, one day where people should stop and give consideration to all of us who suffer from MS.
Aaaaaaaaand.... the moment passed.
I won’t go on about how it’s ludicrous to devote one day to raising awareness about anything, breast cancer, diabetes, MS, whatever... One day where other people stop and think about a disease they know nothing about but are glad they don’t have. I wish I could spend one day thinking hard about my disease and then push it aside and it isn’t there anymore. It’s up there with Mother’s Day or Father’s Day... One day out of the year to appreciate your parents who’ve spent the other 364 days appreciating and caring for you.
Where is that fair?
This time last year, I was just starting summer break with the kids. I had no idea that there was a World MS Day, and if I did, I didn’t give it much thought; I was too busy playing with my boys and enjoying the break from work. Now the idea of a World MS Day has a whole different meaning, but honestly, I still would have been just as fine not knowing a thing about it while I prepared for another summer hanging with the guys.
So, this is my moment where I give some thought and consideration about this disease that is wreaking havoc on my life...
Aaaaaaaand, we’re done.
