My step-dad Arnold, was diagnosed last year with Parkinson's disease. He was only 50 years old when he got this life changing news. He has had to quit his job that, even though it stressed him (like most jobs do) I know he loved. Since leaving his job he has found joy in fixing things or upgrading things around the house, leaving my mom and I bewildered by how to use the once simple things! He has stayed positive and strong through all of the trials and tribulations that Parkinson's brings. I am so lucky to call him my Step-dad. He truly is an amazing and strong person, even when I am sure he feels weak. Thank you for all you do for not just me, our whole family. You are so loved. Happy Fathers Day.
