Thanks for this. I don't go in for tears much but I'm sitting here with tears streaming. The relevance to PD or any other degenerative disease is clear enough. Like these young people, make the most of today.
Best Wishes
Glad you "enjoyed" it.

Good Morning after having a very rough night with so little sleep, but the sun is shining brightly and once showered and had some breakfast the garden beckons for some attention.
Do I have children ? Yes ....4, two girls and two boys, the youngest will be twenty this coming August. The two girls have not been without there own problems health wise, one we nearly lost to Leukaemia twice, and the other has had meningitis...twice, but thank god they are recovered and ok now.
I dedicate this song sung by Billy Joel to my youngest daughter
Like the big grin,
