I just learned that my second daughter's diagnosis of MS is confirmed. It runs on my side of the family. My paternal grandfather had it, as does one of my aunts. I had hoped for the best, despite suspecting the worst after first hearing of her symptoms.
Fuck.
She gave birth to her third child earlier this year and had passed her boards to be a licensed nurse practitioner only a month ago. Now this. All I can say is that my kid's a fighter and tough as hell. She's certainly handling the news better than me and rejects any words of pity or displays of sadness. She plans to participate in a half-marathon in September and is determined to make the most of everything before the worst of it sets in. I admire her spirit.
