My parents are such an inspiration to me because I have had multiple sclerosis for 3 years, and unconditional love does not even begin to define what they express, everyday in their actions. There has never been a time when they were too tired to listen to my problems or too weary to come and pick me up, or bring me something I needed, or take me out-of-town to the neurologist, and I could go on and on. I don’t know where they find the strength other than their deep Christian faith, but I know sometimes they really have to reach deep within themselves. I only now I feel I owe them so much because there are so many people, in my support group or otherwise who don’t even have one person to depend on, and I feel truly fortunate. I could not be as mobile/active or contribute anything to the outside world without their support.
