Hello Beth,

I love your poem. It expresses our frustrations and asks the

questions that we all ask. I somehow don't think we will ever truly

understand. I am not sure it is meant to understand. Perhaps due to

the fear it may create, but then I can't imagine anything that is

anymore fearful or tormenting than this disease. I have heard that

understanding sets you free, but the more I learn the less I

understand. I suppose all we can really do is to show love, be

strong, and pray for a cure. Be Blessed!...Hugs....Patti
