“MS—any chronic illness, really—becomes your whole family’s disease, not just your own. It affects our daily choices, and while sometimes I resent that, it has also made me see how strong I am. …My body can ache, and not do the things I want it to do, but in the face of the daily fears that I have of not being enough, my two little boys give me all the love and reassurance I’ll ever need. They only know this one mommy. They don’t ask why I move the way I do, why I need help up stairs sometimes, or why daddy rubs my legs a lot. They don’t care. They have shown me that I don’t need anything, good or bad, working or not, disease or no disease, to be deserving of love.”
-Jamie-Lynn Sigler, actress and mom to Jack Adam, 14 months, and Beau Kyle, 5, to Shondaland.com, March, 2019.
