To the set of genes and environmental and psychological ills that brought MS into my life: thank you so much. As I watch my violin students improve their posture, musicianship, intonation, tone, and manual dexterity, and see them develop into truly beautiful souls, I am reminded that none of this would have been possible without MS. I wouldn't wish it on anyone else, and occasionally I wallow, but mostly I'm grateful that MS is now a part of me.
