Book excerpt: My struggle started 30 years ago and still continues today...spanning more than a quarter century..described in poetry and prose. I lost my mobility, my faith in God and people. I asked God for help and He responded. I asked my doctors for help also......but most of all I ask my family for help.....without them I would be nowhere!! I searched for answers where therewere none. I looked for miracles may have found one. I am no longer angry and feel hopeless.. I now pray and thank God for everyday. I enjoy life. .Young Onset Parkinson's not only changes your life, it controls your life and that of your families. You lose control of movements, flexibility and even cognitive functioning. Time means nothing to Parkinson's. It controls where and when you go. At times it dictates if you go. Moments of Hope are moments I feel in control, moments when I feel empowered and capable of fighting back. This is my story. This is my fight. I learned to live with adversity. Poetry became my escape, my way of fighting back. My Life is Different, Not Over. I'm in this to win!!
