Christmas is a time for HOPE and JOY to prevail over difficulties in our lives.
I have posted many times about HOPE, and will continue, because HOPE had the power to sustain me through 36 years of not knowing John’s gene status for Huntington’s disease (HD).
After my three sisters-in-law, Lora, Marcia and Cindy died, I had a period of time where HOPE eluded me. HOPE slipped away and it wasn’t until I finished writing my book in 2017, Watching Their Dance: Three Sisters, a Genetic Disease and Marrying Into a Family At Risk for Huntington’s, that I found HOPE again. Once I felt strong and like myself, I began volunteering for the nonprofit, Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA).
Being involved with HDSA San Francisco Bay Area Chapter, keeps HOPE in the forefront of my mind and in my heart.
We Can Never Lose Hope…
