Parkinson’s isn’t a one-person disease
My mom and dad have decided to purchase a new house. This is a very exciting time for them. They get to pick out the colors of the wall, the stucco on the house and what plot of land they want to build on. Anyone would have trouble refraining from jumping up and down like a kid on […]

What is Love?
I remember when I was growing up, Valentine’s Day was such an awesome holiday. It was one of my favorites that I looked forward to each year, the celebration of love. In elementary school we would decorate Kleenex boxes that would hold the Valentine’s Days cards we got from our classmates. My teacher had a […]
