I Have Or Know Someone With Parkinson's

I was out with my granddad in a restaurant today. He had ordered a starter. Some soup.

When he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, I was too young to be told about it. And after that, nobody ever talked about it. He didn't have symptoms, and I guess nobody wanted to talk about it much.

So it never really sunk in, for me, that he has Parkinson's disease. As I watched him eating his soup, it shocked me just how much his hands were shaking. It scared me too. It also made me very, very sad.

Incurable diseases suck.
