The MS Walk was today in North Carolina, where my son (age 12) walked and ran the whole 5 miles!! His dad only did 2 miles!!!
My ex husband was diagnosed about a year ago with MS. It was a devastating shock to everyone, including me. I think he took it more in stride than I did and I spent a lot of time agonizing over it for him, and for Alex. He started treatment and it was pretty successful in resolving a good portion of the deficits for now. We are hoping that continued treatment he will live a long and healthy life.
He and I were a wrong match from the start and went from intense highs to nasty lows where we didn't speak for over a year save from notes left in Alex's backpack. While I don't know that I'd go so far as to say we are 'buddies' now- I have to admit that he's been a good father, and in times of need, we continue to be there for each other. His girlfriend April is a fantastic girl who I hope he will marry, although I don't know that I'd advise HER to marry HIM!!! (*wicked) She loves and cares for my kid as if he was her own and I could not have asked for a better person to be there while I'm not.
So anyway, the walk was today- and I'm late in doing this, but if you got a minute and a few extra bucks- make a donation. Alex walked 5 miles for his dad today. That's worth a few bucks isn't it??
