Strangers In The Night

"Variation Of Dramatic Or Light Verse"
Sponsor: Nette Onclaud

He put the garden hose where
In his diaper and 
The expression on his face
Said it all to me

Now we are strangers at night
And in the day too
Who is this baby boy with
Huntington's Disease

Victor Buhagiar Date: 9/13/2025 11:15:00 PM So much illness in this world. One can only hope.

Gershon Wolf Date: 9/13/2025 9:00:00 PM This tore at my heart, Sara. I had never heard of the disease before. Looked it up, and how awful it is. Thanks for the poignant write, Gershon Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 9/14/2025 3:23:00 AM Thank you, Gershon. I am glad that you looked it up. I know if they keep on working and doing research that they will find a way besides people who have to cease from having children or have invitro fertilization to eliminate the disease. Our grandson has chosen to not marry and have children. As of today, they don't have anything that can help the illness or slow it down. Sara K

So many people don't have any clue what HD is since there is only about 1 in 30,000 people born with it in the USA. It is in clusters in families because it is an inherited mental disease. Sara K
