On April 18, 2016 my dad was diagnosed with ALS. Upon his diagnosis it was so hard to not cry every time I was in his presence( I won't cry in front of him because it makes it harder for him), you see I love my daddy tremendously I'm a daddy's girl and to see my old man who isn't really that old at all at the age of 47 become frail when he was the strongest person I knew is beyond difficult. The last couple of months the disease has been progressing and my dad is now unable to walk with out a walker/ something to hold on to and he is having more and more trouble getting up out of chairs on his own. I'm 26 years old and I thought I had so much more time with my dad, I am struggling to keep it together and be strong for my dad, but as his disease progresses it become harder and harder.
