My Inspiration

[Guest guest]

The two years I was developing the computer system

for NY's Attorney General I knew a man that was

my inspiration for the past two years. His name

was Dennis and he lived in Troy, NY.

Dennis has to be the happest person I have ever

known. All the time I was in the hospital he

kept a smile on my face which baffeled the nurses

considering all I was going through.

You couldn't go anywhere in Troy and not run into

Dennis sometime during the day. He held a full

time job and was very active in charity work. Seems

the man always had a crowd around him.

All the times I get down from the pain from RA and

Fibrmalygia Or times get rough I just think of Dennis

and relize thngs could be so much worse. When I think

of him and his refusal to let anything get in the

way of his enjoying life, it gets me back in perspective

where I try harder and harder.

That keeping on trying and fighting is what the Drs

and nurses said got me through the comma, 2 heart attacks

on top of the RA, OA, Osterperosis, Anemia, V fib.

I have my friend Dennis to thank for that.

Thing about Dennis is that he is in a wheel chair

and never had a left arm or right leg. He has never

known anything but hardship and he just keeps on

going. Dennis is one of my best friends and will always

be a hero to me.
