Hi Trina-
I'm Jennifer. Like you, I am very sad that my dad's life is going to end in such a miserable way. He's had a very hard life, taking care of my mom through several battles with cancer (which eventually took her life 20 years ago) and I, too have had cancer. He's 86 and I tell myself that he's had a long life and that he's fortunate he got it at 86, not 46, and I am grateful for all the time. But, it still sucks. We don't have a specific kind of ALS diagnosis yet, just ALS.
