Why Love Heals and What You Eat Matters
A Tribute to Our Brother
He is not only a living miracle but I believe that he chose to come in this way to be a teacher.
Our brother turns 50 years old!
When we were kids we rode bikes, and teased each other and played tag and hide and seek and then his diagnosis, metachromatic leukodystrophy, started to slow his body down. His doctors said a life expectancy of 25 years.
But this man, his spirit, it has stayed strong even as his body declined. He is not only a living miracle but I believe that he chose to come in this way to be a teacher. To expand his own spirit and the spirits of those around him. He has taught me so much about unconditional love, about patience, that we are so much stronger than we can ever imagine, that suffering can be a powerful gift, that a smile can make a person’s whole day, that our eyes truly are windows to our soul, that what we feed ourselves really does matter, and that love heals.
I am telling you LOVE is the most powerful medicine on this entire planet and he dishes it out in heaps. He taught me how to live my life FULLY. To dig deep, to participate in something bigger than myself. He doesn’t talk much with his voice, but I hear you Dennis, loud and clear.
You are my teacher, my guru, my brother. I feel so blessed to be your sister. And to my parents who continue to give him the greatest love every single day.... I know the challenges and I also know he has been the greatest gift to you both, to all of us.
