we both can testify it really is the enemy within, but we can rise above it and support the ones we love who are cruelly struck down by this cruel disease:-) hugs Jan xx

Line, Presumptuous, everything I can think to say. Life's gifts & plagues are outside my reach I fear. But I have learned much from you and your verse. Thank you and may God bless you. -Richard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGnhyoP_DSc
