Would I have…..

been your friend?

My best friend asked me on Friday if I didn’t have MS would our paths have crossed? She’s not wrong, I don’t think I would have known her.

But when I thought about it, it made me sad. It kind of felt like the Marvel movie where most of the characters disintegrate. That’s how I felt if I didn’t have MS and never met her.

If I didn’t have this awful disease, how would I be able to call my friend every day in the hospital while she was getting her stem cell transplant?

How would I not talk to the many people that I’ve volunteered to talk to by being their MSFriend? I wouldn’t be able to share my experiences and give the person a sigh of relief that they are not going through it alone.

I would be not able to be apart of Evie’s Chat where many people from across the country(and Canada 🇨🇦) come and talk to each other about their experiences. And I apparently make people laugh with my dry humor(so I’ve been told😝).

Right now, I’m just helping people live with their MS, and hoping I make a difference in their life.

My present experience is that I’m thankless that I have MS, but I am so thankful for all the astonishing people that I have met because I have MS.
