My wonderful family, and a life filled with love.
Despite everything that has happened, I am happier than I have ever been. Mandy is the most amazing woman. She loves me for who I am and doesn't want me to change. She copes with everything my illness throws at us. She has seen me change from a confident kick-ass teacher to a speech slurring, immobile thing that can't even wash and dress herself. And she still wants to be with me.
Then there's Beth. She calls me mommy and loves to spend time with me. She makes me smile and giggle when I'm feeling down. She loves taking me out in the wheelchair and pushing me around. She loves curling up on the sofa in front of the tv and snuggling up. She loves playing musical instruments and having me sit and bask in her wonderfulness. She is such an amazing 14 year old. She copes so well with all my fits and hospital trips. She is truly amazing.
I've also regained my family. I now have proper contact with my mom and Phil, with my aunts and uncles and cousins. I feel part of my own family, and part of Mandy's family. Her mom and dad have accepted me and have become as close as my own mom. I am so very very lucky.
Seoladh beannacht an ghrá, solas agus sonas.
