Literacy Narrative Brainstorming

I have been thinking of many different memories that really stand out in my life.  I than have been thinking about which memories can relate to a much bigger picture as a whole.  I have finally decided on one memory.  This memory is when I was first was told that my father has multiple sclerosis.  I was told when I was 16 years old and a Junior in high school.  Learning about my fathers disease at this age was a positive and a negative.  It was positive because I could understand what the disease was all about but it was also a negative because I knew the disease has no cure and I had to witness the horror of my dad going through "Spells".  I have decided on this as my literacy narrative because I can relate to all of the others in the world that are effected by this awful disease.  I hate that I have to have a family member that is struct with a disease but I try to stay strong not only for myself but for my dad.  I need to be strong for my dad and the other people who I actually know who have a family member who has MS.  One of my best friend's mom also has this disease and we really relate on that level and it seemed to bring our friendship that much closer and stronger.  I have faith in my dad that he will stay strong and fight this disease like a warrier.  He is an amazing person that did not deserve to get this disease.
