Oh Cabal, I am so sorry. I am never good with words, but I want to let you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Cerebral palsy is so tough as the mind is brilliant, yet the body restricts so much. I have worked with children with CP and loved them. I am so sorry for the loss of your cousin. My heart goes out to you. I know he will be so missed, but think of him now with a perfect body, or spirit, in Heaven, free from his physical restrictions in this life. He will no longer be in pain or confined. I know that your heart is heavy and I am so sorry.

Hugs,
Cathy

Carol responds:

My sincere condolences, and I hope that you draw comfort from that
lovely poem. The tragedy of a good mind in a broken body is
incomprehensible for those of us who are healthy. I hope that he's at
peace now.

Carol, whose cousin died of cancer last year after a brave and
amazingly cheerful struggle, leaving behind twin teenage daughters
