Just wanted to share
« on: July 13, 2011, 10:02:27 pm »
Some of you know that I teach, and how hard it has been to regain confidence with facial paralyzation. I volunteered to work the crafts at my grandson's Vacation Bible School. The first night one of the on-stage leaders gave a short devotion and directions to the kids. She caught my eye because of her mouth looking similar to mine. Turns out she's had AN sugery and experiences much like me. Her confidence was inspiring - and it was so unusual to meet another ANer in my small circle.

Yes! It's not that you want someone else to have to have experienced all of this, but there is someone close by who KNOWS what it is like!
