Hi Everyone,
Although I don't post a lot I try and keep up with all the posts.

I remember a few years ago there was a post that asked for peoples wish list for the following year and it was very moving and heartfelt,

My daughter Laura is in the final stages and cannot walk or talk and has no facial expressions at all now, so my wish for 2011 is that I have the strength to be strong enough to help my beloved daughter as best I can on this final heartbreaking stage of her JHD journey.

I also wish that my son comes home safe from Afganistan.

And I know I'm being greedy but I also wish that a cure for HD is found and no-one else has to suffer.

Take Care everyone,

Yvonneg

I am kinda not thinking in terms of a year right now, but "happy new day" is working for me. So far so good .. but to you Yvonne and everyone ... have a happy New Year! Hope your son does well and is home soon. Laura... I hope she is comfortable and content.

I am among the fortunate ones and have much to be thankful for now and in the future. My heart goes out to Eric and Yvonne.

Eleven is a lucky number. May next year be the one when we can really say we're beating the disease with effective treatments and possibly a cure.

My wish for 2011 is that i continue to not hang on to what was, but to continue to move forward, and to continue to make Dan proud of me...wishing you all the best in 2011

My wish is not only for a cure for HD, but for happiness for my family.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

My heart goes out to Yvonne and Eric. Happy New Year to All.

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year - day at a time!

My prayers go out to all who are struggling and suffering. I pray each
day a cure will be found - what a celebration we will have.
I am also thankful for what has been found in the way of continuing research and medications that are helpful that weren't there a few years prior. The future looks promising with all that is happening.

I also thank each and everyone of you for being there for me and all of us. Life would be so much more difficiult without all of you.

I am very blessed with my family and friends (which includes all of you)

Happy New Year everyone.

My wish for the new year is: to Live with a sense that I am traveling this road with my sons and I will stay committed and strong, loving and kind. To forgive myself when I fall short. To nurture my marriage, because my husband is my rock.

I wish a moment of peace to all of us who are here. Where ever you are in your journey with HD a moment of peace is a gift.

God bless.

I wish as a carer for my JHD daughter's sake, that I also have the strength to deal with what is ahead.It is not an easy path to walk.I also wish strength for all the carer's on this board.

Happy New Year to everyone here! I hope the science continues to progress as quickly as possible!!! The bits and pieces of progress and good news are a source of great hope... I hope all those suffering from HD - parents, spouses, caregivers, and HD+ have a good 2011 and find peace and joy in their lives.

Happy New Year !!

Ditto. Happy New Day to Eric. Great thoughts from Barb about moving forward. Yvonne what a great attitude you have with everything going on; I didn't know you had a son overseas too. ((HUGS)))

2010 was a very mixed year for me, started bad with my own testing + husband losing his job that same month, but got better as it went on (10th wedding anniversary/vow-renewal, rewarding volunteer projects, husband finding & liking a new job...).

Wishing EVERYONE the best for 2011.

Hello and Happy New Year/Day/Moment to all. . . My wish is totally selfish. . . but I allow myself that only on this board. I wish I could be the person I was before I discovered this wretched disease. I had always bounced back from everything. . sometimes it took time, sometimes not. After the discovery (which answered a lot of questions for my family at the same time), I found myself completely overwhelmed with this huge sense of grief,that I could not shake. I have done everything from regular massage, acupuncture, therapy, etc. Part of me just died and never came back. I miss feeling good, without strings attatched.

Anyhow, I am grateful ( hard to tell, I know ) for many other things, most of all you guys here, who have undoubtedly saved me in ways I can't even begin to recount. And probably moreso than my above wish, I wish that you all could (or will or are) experience peace, and contentment. These moments are hard to come by- Carla is absolutely right- a moment of peace is a gift and I wish you all many moments now and always. . .
