My father passed away from ALS on November 21st of this year 2015. I have a regret. I wish I had took more pictures of him after his diagnosis with me and also with my kids. When he first found out he had ALS I felt I shouldn't upset him by flashing a camera in his face because I didn't want him to think I thought it was the end right away. He lived for 3 1/2 years after we found out. I wish I was more persistent in getting pictures taken. I was glad I wasn't my normal vain self about my appearence and did pose for a picture with dad and my sibling on Columbus day. I'm always worried that I look like crap. But, for some reason I knew the picture would be important to me someday. So, make sure you take time to make memories and take pics. I am so thankful that I kept some messages that my dad left on my cell phone. I play them so I can hear his voice .
