Multiple Sclerosis

Today I'm going to write about one of the more serious topics in my life. My mom was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis since before I was born and it is only getting worse. Over the years I have seen the disease progress through her body. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that attacks the nerves throughout the body and covers them up making them unable to receive messages from the brain. There is no cure for this disease and will eventually leave my mom unable to use her legs. She is slowly getting worse and worse every time I come home and it's getting harder and harder to deal with. With the older I get and the more I understand the disease I am starting to cherish every moment I have with her. This disease is not terminal, but it is nice to be able to take her places on her own and that will soon be a thing of the past. I pray every night that someone somewhere around the world would just find a cure for this terrible disease so I won't have to see my mom like this EVER AGAIN.
