Hi everyone! I'm getting hyped about going to NYC for the Unity Walk and the fundraising I am doing for that, and hopefully some PD awareness at the same time. I realize not everyone can go to the walk (but you can watch on webcast this year --see www.unitywalk.com for details), but I have a friend who is doing a neat thing to bring awareness about PD to the public thru one online website.
A friend has started an awesome online awareness site using Flickr
(an online photo community) and it is open to anyone who would like to
put your face or a tribute to one who's life has been impacted by PD
(caregivers , etc) for the world to know PD affects people just like
them! It is a group account in Flickr call 'Faces of PD'. If you
don't want your picture posted, but would like to share something about
your life w/PD, she can put up anykind of lovely scene you might like.
Please contact or go see: You can send your pictures or stories to
dgator383@aol.com if you're interested in participating, or you can
join www.Flickr.com for free and post something yourself @
http://www.flickr.com/groups/facesofpd/pool/
It is up to us to spread the word that we are sick and tired of PD, and we want a cure for Pete's sake!

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
