My page does not look nothing like what I want but I can’t wait any longer. I had the most amazing day Sunday and I just had to share it. This is something I wanted to talk about later and I will go in depth at some point. I have MS or multiple sclerosis. I was diagnosed about 5 years ago. With that being said, Toledo, Ohio had their MS Walk on Sunday! Each year it gets pushed back further from MS Awareness Month, which is March, for hopes of better weather. This year it didn’t snow or rain so I guess that worked. With my mother’s encouragement, lol, I did it big this year. T-shirts, gift bags for my team (thanks Gheinar for the idea and donation), and a blanket to give to another MS warrior. My team, Ebony’s Avengers, showed up and showed out in a major way. Friends and family came from miles to show me support and walk for a cure and for a cause. To say that I felt loved is an understatement. My heart was so full and my spirit was lifted. We walked, we laughed and I was even carried when my legs decided that they did not want to walk anymore.
I can remember many moments that touched me Sunday but there was one that stands out the most. I love to crochet. I do it for fun and always give my blankets away. I crocheted a blanket that was specifically for someone with MS. I thought about doing a raffle but did not want to deal with all that came with that option. I decided just to let God lead me. Now even though the blanket was beautiful it wasn’t very big. I knew that someone who is in a wheelchair would be the best candidate. I spotted a lady across the gym, chased my mom down who was about to give it to the wrong person, and we made our way over. Her name is Tina. She is warm and friendly. She has a 95 year old father who carves crosses. And I was happy to be the recipient of one. The one really neat thing I found out is that her children’s school colors happen to be orange and black, the same colors as the blanket.
This post was quickly thrown together and leaves so much out. I had to share. I couldn’t wait any longer. I will continue to work on my blog to get it just the way I want it. Please excuse my humble beginnings. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to share. I look forward to interacting with everyone who visits this blog.
I just love you
