Five years ago I began a journey.
A journey that would change my life.
I felt alone and afraid.
What changes would I be meet with.
Afraid of the future, and what it would bring.
But time can do funny things.
I was given two years live.
That was a life time ago.
Am I one of the lucky ones?
I can't answer that.
But I know I could only find the answers on my own.
To listen what is deep inside of me.
I found strength I never thought I had.
Trying to define my own place in the world.
Fighting for what I could not understand.
Why am I different from those who went before me.
I don't think I would ever be able to understand that.
I do know I have gained more then I have lost.
I have a new perspective on life.
Strength and knowledge are my guides.
Most of all I have found I am not alone.
My friends are always beside me.
I found a better person inside of me.
As I progress, the fear will always remain.
But today I will fight.
Tomorrow's will come, and I will still fight.
I will embrace my challenges.
And fight for my life.
It has taken me time to find that person within me.
Fives years ago I was diagnosed with ALS.
Live well and dance in your underpants.
