Sandy, I am sorry for your loss, all the best to you and your family.

Sandy, I am sorry for your loss.

Sandy, I am also praying that your dad finds peace. Keep talking to him, I am sure he hears you. Take care of yourself.

My sister used a TTY phone, it was great. But we used it thru an operator, that way she could call me or anyone else she wanted to. Her typing was translated thru an operator, when you respond the operator typed it back to her. It worked great, just took a little longer to communicate but it...

The Sue Rodrigues story with Wendy Crewson was a good one and I have seen a few others. But I agree, there should be more. I recall " Touched by an Angel" did a show about someone with ALS. I think unless you know what ALS is, you don't pay attention.

Sandy, it is hard when you know the end is near. I pray for you and your family. I'm giving you a big hug. God bless you and your family.

My prayers are with your family.

This is what I did. I thought when Mom couldn't talk anymore how she must have been frustrated. She was a very talkative person. I felt that it must be awful to not be able to express yourself, so while she could still write, I got her a note pad and asked her to write her life story. Which...

That is great news!

I don't respond a lot because sometimes I just don't know what to say. But I read the posts and my heart aches for what you are going thru. I hope and pray for a cure for this awful, horrible disease. I remember my first encounter with ALS. My aunt Vina, I was 5 years old. I recall asking...
