I would just like to tell everyone about my best friend Pauline.She lives around the corner from me.Pauline has a boy who suffers from diabetes,epilepsy and is also autistic.He is going to be 20 tomorrow and this chap is a real inspiration to all that know him.He complains about his mothers cooking especially if he cannot get his own way.He has the mental age of about ten.He is one of the sweetest chaps I have ever come across.Mark takes everything in his stride and often laughs.Well to get back to his mother Pauline she strives to do everything she can possibly do to keep the Marks needs met.She takes him to his charity shop where he has managed to secure a little job for a couple of hours a week. Paline never moans and happily gets on with life the best she can.The whole family are an inspiration to everybody around them.I just wanted to write a bit of a tribute to this wonder woman I am lucky enough to have as my best friend.

Hello suzzy3
It is nice of you to write this tribute to your friend, Pauline.
Indeed, it sounds like Pauline and her family are an inspiration.
It is good that Mark is able to do some work. I imagine that he enjoys that. Do you know what he does there?

Your friend is truly and inspiration. Some might say that it is indeed difficult and perhaps some would not have the courage to face such. But your friend does make it through. That is something admirable and it reminds me of a saying that in life, difficulties and hardship can either bring you down or brings out the best in us. You are indeed lucky to have such a friend.

Hi,suzzy3.
It is always moving to read such soft words. Unfortunate people are not what they supposed to be, to some extent. Take Pauline for example, maybe he suffers much more physical pain than the average. Yet we have no idea how peaceful and happy is in his mind. Anyway, it is an inspiration. Thanks for sharing it with us.
