My Parkinson's story began about 10 years ago when I noticed my left hand would shake or tremor sometimes.  I didn't think twice about it and I noticed that I could make it stop by just concentrating on it.  My wife said she noticed it also and she prayed that the tremor was not  Parkinson's Disease.  About a year later the small tremor continued and I noticed while driving I was stopping for red traffic lights several feet behind the car in the next lane.  I went to my doctor and he referred me to a Neurologist who examined me and told me I had Parkinson's Disease.  Parkinson's is humbling, especially for the guy who joined the Marine Corp at 18 years old, fought in Vietnam and was blessed to return home safely.  I worked two or more jobs all my life, worked in the church, father of three wonderful sons, one beautiful daughter and blessed with six grandchildren and two great grandchildren.  I never experienced any mental or physical limitations until Parkinson's.  I thank the Lord that I have been married to a wonderful and supportive wife for 50 years.  She's my friend, love, wife and caregiver.  When I'm down mentally and phyically, she picks me up.  I thank the Lord for my children, family, church family, friends and Julia Wall and the Livonia Parkinson's Support Group.  All of them are a blessing.
