Tears of happiness from Indonesia. You are just amazing person who give encouragement to the downcasts. I pray that the Lord Jesus heals you totally.
Anna, you are a great partner who can give support to the hopeless!
Being a ballroom dancer I couldn't stop my tears. Many people use to laugh at dancers (especially male), they don't perceive it as a sport or a necessary activity in life. Dancing is not only a way of movement - it is something that changes you, moves you deeply and transforms your mentality. Prof. Eldor - I'm so proud of you, your progress and how extremely dancing changed your life. Your love for life could be seen in your dancing. Congratulations and keep fighting the disease!
