MS SPOTLIGHT: THE ALMOST M&G WEEK

This week's MS Spotlight focuses on two of our own MS'ers who ALMOST had a meet and greet in Seattle a while back, Diddy and Twizzy. If it wasn't for that silver sequined speedo, those argyle church socks and RUBY, the MnG would went off without a hitch. First up, is Twizzy.

Enjoy!!

Comfort through the Rain:

There were times
My life seemed full of storms
And there were times
I felt I couldn’t go on
Then I looked at me
And told myself
That I love who I see
I asked myself for a little help
Through the rain

I found comfort through the rain
For I know the sun will shine again
I can stand the rain
I’m not afraid
For I have it in me
To make it through anything
Giving me comfort through the rain
