You can do things. You can show up for your family, provide support emotionally and improve your relationships. You can read books, expand your knowledge.

Haven't been around much and just saw this. I am very sorry to hear of our loss. I can attest that MS is a crappy disease. I lost my wife two years ago after a hard fought struggle with her MS and brain cancer, which was likely related to the MS. Prayers to the family!! Sorry to hear that, Russell....
