This is what you send your son back to college with when he has chronic Lyme disease

This is what you send your son back to college with when he has chronic Lyme disease. It’s a set of blessing beads, like the one you carry but a friend (a really good friend) made some using green beads, the universal color for the fight against Lyme disease.

It’s a reminder to be grateful for what you have, to be kind to others by sending healing thoughts their way, and it’s a way to remember that you are not your disease.

You are so much more.

You are a caring, intelligent, strong, and funny person with an incredible support and cheering section standing always right behind you. You are going to make a positive change in the world.

Always remember that you are so much more.

This is what you wonder when you have chronic Lyme disease

When you were a kid, you played for hours at a time in the woods. Your Dad had built you a tree house and in that fort, you sailed the seas and protected the lands from invaders. You were bit by mosquitoes, spiders, and ticks but simply saw it as a small price to pay for the grand adventures.

Now that you are older, now that you have suffered for so long from the infection of a bite, you wonder if you have a son – would even dare to build such a dangerous trap for  him?
