No story, just a big thank-you. Reading some of your stories made me cry. Lives touched, afraid of the future, of what might be. But together it won't be so hard. Thank-you

What Is Pain?

Published by Family Friend Poems November 2008 with permission of the Author.

Pain is watching yourself fade into a helpless person.
Pain is not being able to do what you did yesterday.
Pain is not remembering what you did and why or where you bought things.
Pain is not being able to see the flowers or the children on the other side of the room.
Pain is not remembering your children's birthdays.
Pain is not remembering your grandchildren's birthdays.
Pain is knowing tomorrow will be worse.
Pain is knowing it will never get better.
Pain is waiting for the end of all the pain.
Pain is not being able to do things on your own.
Pain is not being able to walk as far as you want.
Small pain is the pain you feel in your legs, back and arms.
Relief is when you won't care anymore.
I pray for my relief!
To my family and friends, please think of this.
At the time that this disease takes over, remember this please.
My pain will be gone finally!
