I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age twenty-nine. I am now thirty-five and learning to live with a body that no longer works the way it should. Some days I am angry. Some days I am scared. But most days I choose faith. The diagnosis came during what was supposed to be the best year of my life. I had just gotten engaged, received a promotion, and was training for a marathon. Then the numbness started. Then the fatigue. Then the MRI that showed lesions on my brain and spinal cord. My fiance stayed. We got married six months later. She is my rock, but I see the worry she tries to hide. The fear that one day I will not be able to walk, or see, or remember her name. MS is unpredictable — some days I feel almost normal, other days I cannot get out of bed. I have had to grieve the future I imagined. The career I planned. The active lifestyle I loved. The certainty of growing old on my own terms. In its place, I am learning to build a different kind of life — one that measures success not by achievement but by presence. I am not asking for a miracle cure, though I would not turn one down. I am asking for prayers for the strength to live fully within my limitations, for my wife who carries this burden alongside me, and for everyone fighting an invisible illness that others cannot see.
