Thank you so much for reading and sharing your opinion in your kind comment, Joe!
In the beginning I put much effort in hiding my disease and pretending that nothing was wrong. I felt so ashamed! Meanwhile I know that there is nothing shameful about disability and dependency. As you say, everyone has to carry their backpack containing good and bad things with the purpose to teach us a lesson

You’re actually an inspiration to others with this writing. Many hate their lives and wish they could change. Trough the mundane tasks of life they complain and never show gratitude for how lucky they are.
Your struggle is a real one that only the strongest can endure. I hope life gets better for you somehow.
No need to respond.

Wow Tim! I had never expected to read such a great and understanding comment to my writing! Of course I have my struggles with my condition. But I am also convinced that every problem presents us learning tasks. When we accept that challenge, we will be stronger and maybe a little wiser. To go through life with an open heart and lots of gratitude for all the wonders and blessings all around us was one of the lessons I have learned. And – everyone has their struggles and fights. Suffering is no competition. In the end, aren’t we all walking each other home?

Elke, Ich liebe es! Suffering from a disability myself, I can relate to the struggle. Our writing, however, makes you and me beat the disability and we come out as inspirational in our work. Sehr gut, Elke!

Your comment is mind-blowing and touches me deeply! You are so right, we can eithér give up and let the disease win or learn from it and transform the suffering into writing. Life has to offer many gifts despite of illness and disability. Maybe we appreciate them even more.
1000 und einen Dank! -
