Each year, around this time, we make a monetary donation to a charity. It’s typically to an organization working in an area that has directly touched the life of someone we know.
Today, we chose the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation. Parkinson’s disease has affected the lives of a couple in Texas for whom I have deep respect and caring — she suffers directly from the disease, he is the partner and caregiver. They are friends whose relationship, joie de vivre and love for one another I emulate.
