Dedication to HERRAD, my Blog Pal

Access denied-living with multiple sclerosis

Herrad has an unquenchable zest for life, as well as a kind & giving spirit brimming over; while living life each day spreading those precious gifts of joy and love to all those she comes in contact with.

Herrad moves forth oh so gracefully and courageously in the face of some fairly unimaginable adversities while living with the limitations, pain, and struggles MS brings upon those afflicted .

Herrad sitting up as her always beautiful and radiant self

She has been bed bound for quite some time now; while healing from a pressure wound. Yet, recently she has starting sitting up in a chair as she awaits a specialized designed wheel chair that hopefully will be arriving in the very near future.

I hope this will allow her to once again experience the world outside the walls of her small flat. May she once more will be able to gaze upon and feel fully the wonders of nature; the brisk cool winds moving through her hair, the sunlight's subtle touch upon her exposed skin, the captivating aroma of blooming flowers opening to the sky, the fragrance of fresh baked breads running through the lanes and across canals, the feel of wet green grass under wheel, letting loose a glorious howl at the moon on crisply lit winter nights sky. I pray she reaches up so high as to grasp upon a star, bringing its glow and sheen down to earth, ringing it in her unbridled passion and flare to hold.

These are just a few of the missed miracles we all take for granted each day.

I am honored to call Herrad both a friend and inspiration.

Herrad, this following song is for you; may you keep on rolling and rolling like a river for many magical days to come; with all the same happiness and open-hearted warmth you always show to those around you.

I encourage you all reading this post to stop in and say hello over at her blog; you undoubtedly will not ever regret the experience.
