Chris was born to a large family He was the youngest of 7. We all doted over Chris and loved watching him grow up to be a fine young man. A marriage and two daughters later my baby brother was given a huge weight to carry, Parkinson Disease. At the age of 31, after a few doctors and many tests, he was given his diagnosis. Chris was left to raise his two daughters after his wife left him and He has continued to work his job at the Electric company and live as normal a life as he can. He used to work on his own cars and was a master at wood work, like his father. The disease has changed his life in many ways. He struggles to do the things we all take for granted. Sometimes his medicine works sometimes it doesn't. His doctor tells him he does have time on his side. His is young enough that someday they may find a cure. In the mean time Chris is the best Pop Pop for little Michael and is anxiously awaiting the arrival of his grand daughter in November. A cure for Chris would mean everything to my brother.
