Our granddaughter lived with us off and on for the first eight years of her life. She has never known me to not be in a wheelchair for most of that time. In the morning when she would wake, she would climb up onto my lap and snuggle until awake enough to start her day. Before moving on she would hug me very tight and say, “I’m going to hug you till you pop!” One of the best parts of my day.

She is four years older now, but her hugs still affect me the way they did when she was a little girl. We share a special bond that can never be broken. 

My wish for all of you MS warriors is that you have or will find someone in your life that will hug you till you pop.

Merry Christmas!
