    Is there a story behind your avatar?

    I have told mine before. In 2015 we had 6 weeks of snow from late January to early March. My poor little snowdrop by my kitchen door. Lost under feet of snow! And then when the snow finally melted there was my brave little snowdrop ! Battered but not defeated! A symbol of our...

I remember going to the neurologist for the diagnosis and my dad walked there. Slowly but he walked. Now he can barely walk in a walker. His left side is much stronger than his...
