Incentive for overcoming dyslexia.

This is a 14 Day story sent to my email by my PATTERN PATCH cross-stitch club subscription….The story rarely has any connection (and sometimes both). I’m inviting readers to read it right through the end and see if there’s anything here you can use to improve your own life….

Memories of how I slowly became deranged into an eccentric human being.

I’m rewriting a story that I wrote many many years ago. It was lost in storage for years.

The following poem is from a collection of 41 written by me to try describing Huntington’s Disease (HD).

“The Impatient Patient” is about how infuriating HD patients can be. This one was written to try and get acrosss the other side of how rewarding it can be looking after a loved one and how hard it is for the person affected.

Whilst the poems have been written having looked at many peoples’ tales of HD, this one is simply about me and my husband. He’s still able to read a little bit as of Nov 2009 but as every day passes his reading skills are diminishing and he tries his hardest to hide it.

Sometimes my husband is struggling so hard to read an item such as sport, where he really wants to know what’s happening, and I make some excuse to read the article aloud.I can see he is relieved but embarrassed.

I’m doing my best to help him retain his dignity as each layer of indepenence is taken from him but it’s only a matter of time…

A poem about the perils of society.

Second installment. Please read "Proof, A Love Story" first.

Part I.

The Alphabet using animals.

Asking the question "are there fairies at the bottom of your garden? A look at the magic one finds in the garden, away from the stresses of every day life., and what one does in the winter to while away the hours, reminiscence of a life in the postwar years in Norfolk England.
