What happens when your word betrays you?

I have always stood by the principle of your word. Your word is all you have. If there is one lesson that my kids remember I hope is is about the value of your word. But, as this disease progresses and takes on s new form, so does the ability to hand out the promise of your word. Your every move is calculated, precise, and completely thought through. Like an intricate game of chess. I was always amazed on how my children could sit down at the chessboard and before I thought of my first move, they both had the ability to tell me how they would beat me in 4 moves or less. Chronic illness is just like that, before we give our word, we must think about all of the possible outcomes and downfalls that we could face. Remembering to use "just enough spoons" so that you can keep your word is the greatest juggling act we will preform; however, if we succeed we will prove victorious once more.
