We were walking this journey together, yet alone. Two siblings from a close-knit, boisterous family of six. There is nothing like the camaraderie of family to give you the determination to persevere in spite of any obstacle. We were overwhelmed by the disease of multiple sclerosis as well as other autoimmune diseases. Our outward appearance of healthiness was deceiving. Unbeknownst to us, the disease of multiple sclerosis would eventually consume mobility, sight, memory, fine motor skills, speech, and so much more. The emotional suffering that we have endured was compounded by physical ailments. Many incidents of failing health and loss have occurred over the years. Every nuance of each symptom has vanished at least from our minds. The invisible physical effects still linger in our bodies. Great Googa Mooga is a testament to moving forward, having grieved the loss of bodily function, but coming to an acceptance of what is. Every time we felt that we could not go on, our strength was bolstered by the kind deeds of others and prayer. This disabling and progressive disease was no match for two people resolute to live their lives.
