   ADHD is real, just as dyslexia is real. Neither, however, is an excuse for bad behavior or failure. Those of us who have one or both just need to learn how to cope with our learning differences. Some teachers are pretty good at keeping us focused, some are lousy at it and would prefer to label us as stupid or troublemakers. Some personalities deal with those lousy teachers better than others. My older brother just accepted that he was stupid, I refused to let anyone else determine who or what I was. My brother barely graduated high school, I was in the top 10% of my class. My brother did finally learn to read in his 30s, and successfully completed nursing school. I obtained a Ph.D. in molecular quantum chemistry. I often wanted to go back to those lousy teacher and gloat but then I would be lowering myself to their level.

   Thank you. I firmly believe in the power of prayer and believe that is the only reason he is still with us today.

   My husband was put on mirtazapine last August to try to stimulate his appetite. It gave him hallucinations, one of which he ended up falling out of bed requiring a hospital stay. He now eats when I tell him to whether the food tastes good or not (chemotherapy makes food taste pretty bad according to him).

   I’m sure we could all find a website that would endorse our beliefs. Whether or not the website id credible would be a different story. Reminds me of a line from “Jesus Christ, Superstar” – “But what are truths, are truths unchanging law? We both have truths, are mine the same as yours?” Our life experiences form the basis of our personal “truths”, how can we dare say someone else’s “truths” are wrong when we did not experience their life, nor have they experienced ours?

   Reminds me of my mother (she was bipolar and refused meds so there was a reason). She was very argumentative and refused to believe she was ever wrong. I finally saw the light one day when she was arguing about something with me and I said, “Mom, why are you arguing? I agree with you.” Her response was “Well don’t, I might change my effing mind!” What an epiphany!

   I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad you have such a great photo to remember her by.

   I’ve had a couple of foster fails in my life, one is sleeping next to me right now. I fully planned on finding a home for Luci Fur but she cuddles with my husband and he needs a lap kitty.
