I Can't Complain

40 years ago my father Larry was diagnosed with Muscular Sclerosis "MS"  At the time he had 3 young boys and a loving wife to take care of.  His life was forever changed.  The disease gradually progresses and in just a few years he couldn't work anymore.  Through all this time his Faith in God has carried him from birthday to birthday.  After about 20 years he finally lost his mobility and used a wheelchair from then on.  Dad has spent many months in Hospitals for numerous things brought on from MS.  Yet, whenever I see him he's always happy and smilling.  As fragile as he is, he's the strongest man I know!  I would've succumbed to this disease years ago but not dad.  A few weeks ago they came to visit us, we live 2 hrs apart, and my father-in-law asked Dad how he was doing.  Dads answer was "I Can't Complain"  I wish I had his strong faith and outlook on life.  Any time that I complain about aches and pains anymore I think about his struggles and his answer.  Dad I love you and look up to you more than you could ever imagine
