Grace - God’s Empowerment Divine Grace when we experience a victory, Grace when we experience defeat, Grace to persevere and not give up. - Lizanne Uitenweerde - I n 2013 there was great excitement in our house. We could hear the kids shrieks of excitement ring through the house; “Nanna and Pops are coming to visit!” We couldn’t wait, and finally the big day arrived. Poor mum and dad, the kids wore them out! As my mum and I spent time together chatting and reminiscing on old times I started to notice that at times she would demonstrate strange behaviour. Sometimes she would display a slight tremor in her right hand. Now and then she would lose the ability to make normal facial expressions, appearing to have a “mask-like face”. She had difficulty walking at normal speeds and had difficulty fully lifting her right leg, causing her foot to “drag” behind the other foot. She would also experience episodes of “freezing” where she would not be able to move for several seconds. Page 55
