Athena Willard:  

Life I am married, have 4 children and can't believe my oldest child is 16 and driving now!!! I don't feel old enough to have a 16year old!!! :0) Life has been good! I am very active in our church youth group and also direct the puppet ministry at our church. I spend alot of time with the high school youth group just hanging out at my house. They keep me young!!! haha! On June 18th, 2003 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. It's been a rocky road but God has been wonderful through it all! It was really hard for me to accept that this was happening to me but over time I came to accept it and life is good! :0) I have my days when I can't get around very well but I continue to take weekly injections of the MS meds prescribed along with other supplements and I am managing things well. I've learned alot through all of this and I am truly thankful that God has allowed this to happen to me! I've seen Him work in my life and in the lives of others because of it! So! The next time I see you I may be in a wheelchair or using a cane but you better believe that I'll have them decorated with bells and whistles!! haha! If I gotta use 'em they might as well be decked out, right? :0) So anyway, I haven't really stayed in touch with any one from high school...I always thought I would too! But I guess life just happens and well...what can you do?! I hope all my old friends are doing well and I want you to know that I do think of you often...Debbie W., Rita L...Expand for more
