Thanks for sharing, ArtMachine.
Your comment, "I pray and constantly adjust my thoughts away from my son's disease." I've done so also (with regard to my adult son). I regularly pray and practice methods I've learned to redirect my thoughts when I see I'm "thinking down the wrong path." Obviously, for me, it's ongoing. I've accepted that. The comforting part is I've gained peace, confidence, acceptance, you get what I mean.
It's certainly not always easy but definitely is possible to move into a healthier lifestyle and to heal.
