Glenda....

I can relate to the deaths around the holidays. Both my mom's parents passed away this time of year.

I cannot however imagine the life you have to lead due to your allergy. Sometimes the life we are given may seem so unfair, but it is our life to live. I have a child who was born with Mosaic Down Syndrome. He wasn't diagnosed until he was 13 months old. I never ask "why?" (well, medically, I did). I am just thankful he is in my life. That's not to say that it hasn't been hard and that at times I haven't gotten frustrated. I don't get angry because no-one can tell me what his future will be like. I just accept that if he never leaves home, that's okay.

Anyhow, not to make your troubles seem minor. You have a very real problem with latex . I'm sure you sometimes feel like everyone else is just having a party and thinking "well, that's her cross to bear, not mine." But you know, maybe somehow, each and everyone of us can do a small thing to help.
