I started to write this as a post but I realize that it is probably a better question so we can continue to add to it .

So many of those blessings are you, my fellow People with PD. @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member for your kindness to others even as your own life is becoming more difficult. @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member for taking my… read more
