Struggling to Communicate

Thoughts from 4am few days ago...

Life is a funny thing... indeed, I heard it described the other day as a series of obstacles you have to overcome.

We are all programmed to be positive in life. What happens when the situation you're in isn't very positive? For the rest of the world rushing around you, carrying on with their own set of obstacles, they don't want to hear about your own issues. You put on a smile and say everything is ok. Maybe you want to believe that yourself. Tired and frustrated with the situation.

We are struggling to understand dad these days. When words do come through, I can see he has not lost his sense of humour. Or his intelligence. Both are still evident, though it's getting so hard to comprehend him. He ends up frustrated and rolling his eyes and I feel like weeping.

This link came up in my Twitter feed the other day, and it was helpful in explaining how Parkinson's steals the voice.
