I'd Like To Thank My Caregiver For _______________

  1. I’m extremely thankful that my caregiver (my husband) puts up with my mood swings, especially at Christmas. It's especially difficult this year with the loss of my father-in-law. He'd adopted me as one of his kids when Mike and I were just dating, so it's been hard to have any Christmas spirit. Mike has been my rock this year too, he kept my spirits up during my Covid ordeal in the hospital.

    1. It sounds like you have such a wonderful caregiver and partner. I know this time of year can be hard - I'm really glad you have such a good support system. I hope you're able to enjoy this holiday season together. All the best, Abby (Team member).

    2. I know it’s been a bit since you posted this, but with the holidays approaching, I wanted to check in. It sounds like the year you posted this has been especially tough, and I’m so sorry for your loss. Your father-in-law sounds like he was an incredible person, and it’s no wonder his absence feels so heavy. It’s heartwarming to hear how much love and support Mike has given you, especially during such challenging times. I hope you’re finding moments of comfort as the holidays approach—you’re in my thoughts. -Jennifer SpinalMuscularAtrophy.net Team Member
