Why Me?
When my grandson was delivered early November
my daughter ask me why?
Why did he have so many problems?
What caused his seizures, the stroke?
How was she going to deal with it?
Who would love her and love her son too?
Will the cerebral palsy go away?
Will he ever walk or run?
As a mother we always say everything will be ok,
we will take it by the day.
When inside we truly don`t know the answers,
we hope that as we go on the answers will come to us.
Now I find myself in her shoes,
I have recently found out I have this disease.
It has a strange name but comes with a big punch,
FSHD muscular dystrophy is painful and slowly gets worse.
It is one thing I got from my father I will cherish,
see many years ago my mother was unfaithful.
He never questioned it and when they divorced
he didn`t want to know.
After 28 years of not knowing,
now I know he is my father.
FSHD is past through genes,
he may feel guilty but I am relieved!
My health will over time get worse,
I may not walk or run, I may not have the answers,
But I have a beautiful grandson and my life!
What more can I want, nothing I have all I need!

Very sorry about your affliction. I believe its face, upper body, and arms that are affected, and it progresses very slowly according to the articles I've read. It's generally encountered as a teenager and life expectency is NORMAL.Yes, bad things happen to good people. I hope a cure's around the next corner. Wishing you well.......Dark Hawk
