Blog postWhen Lora, Marcia and Cindy, John’s sisters found out the family secret, their mother, Phyllis, had Huntington’s disease (HD), I remember being afraid but I didn’t know what I was afraid yet.
“Yet” is the key word. I’d never heard of HD or seen anyone with the disease, but by the look on the three women’s faces that day, I knew it couldn’t be good. The Marin Family Secret was about to be unlocked.

Blog postToday, three (3) years ago my dream was fast approaching to become a reality; no longer did I have a manuscript, now I had a book (a proof copy of the book) that I could hold in my hand. I remember going to the mailbox and taking the package out of the mailbox, walking back into the house, my hands shaking, afraid to open it, and my heart pounding in my chest. John said, “Aren’t you going to open it, Therese?” It was surreal holding Watching Their Dance and reading the words

Lora, Cindy, Marcia Marin
Lora, Marcia and Cindy Marin, my three (3) sisters-in-law, who died from Huntington’s disease (HD) complications, are never far from my thoughts.
I’m a HD advocate for many reasons and first and foremost it is because I want to honor these three (3) beautiful women whom I loved. John, my husband, and I miss them everyday and wish we all could have grown old together and celebrated many more Christmas’s, Thank -

Blog postJohn & our children & their spouses
Valentine’s Day is upon us and I have had 44 years to celebrate this day with him. I’m thankful for John Anthony Marin, the love of my life, my husband, lover, father of my children, confidant, touchstone and the kindest, most honest man I’ve ever known.
