These beautiful words always have me in tears by the end. They are tears of solidarity and hope. Just reading Nancy Klimas’ words made me feel I was loved despite this disease. Thank you πŸπŸ‚

Jo, your words have been so timely for my husband and I. He's my carer and is putting all his spare time into organising an event to raise awareness of M.E, yet time and time again we're rewarded only by indifference, particularly from wider family and friends.

He read your words to me this morning - we both needed to hear them. Keep going dear lady, you're doing a valuable job in keeping hope alive when we're all overwhelmed by the mountain of dark leaves.

I'm sorry, Helen. Dealing with indifference from people who don't understand can be really disappointing and discouraging. I'm so pleased this piece gave you both a bit of encouragement when most needed.
