Thanks for breakfast! Here are some pics of our Benny Biscuit (name is actually Bentley, typo on album) https://www.alsforums.com/forum/members/11095-bentlye-albums712.html Hope the pic address works, but if not, they are in album titled Bentlye in my CP

Our new boy

We have a new puppy named "Bentley". He is 5 months old and full of beans. He is a Basset Hound and is my new bed partner. Tom picked him out after many months of searching and he picked a beauty. Benny (as we call him) is a great legacy. Tom left us with a constant reminder of his love of...

Man, I come to this forum now and feel totally disconnected. If I add to a conversation it is like I put a wet blanket over it, conversation done, no commentary beyond. I guess now that Tom is gone there is really no need to stay connected so I shall leave you all with a kiss and a hug, and a...

My heart goes out to you. I couldn't even get the doctors to do the testing on Tom. He had "classic symptoms" as described by the nurse that runs our ALS support group, but I couldn't get anyone at Sunnybrook interested in investigating for me because Tom was insistent that nothing was wrong...

Sleepless in Leaskdale, yep. Still taking Ativan to 'calm the nerves'. I still do not like to come home, and when I do I stay outside. Somehow cutting the grass (Tom's job) is like connecting with him, and allowing the buzz in my head to be no more than the buzz of the lawnmower just feels...

Thank you all for your support. The strength through prayers, wishes, meeting and greetings has truly sustained my household and myself. The busy-ness that surrounds a death certainly keeps you getting up in the morning, contributing to the community and world at large so that you cannot get...

My beloved friend, husband, mentor and father of our children made an end to his struggle with ALS and left his earthly body behind him at 2:20 am Wednesday April 25, 2012. He fought long and well and let the dreaded thief take only the things he was willig to give away. He kept the use of his...

You know, the article lists all the things that are missing. I have embraced the FTD as the reason they are gone, but that doesn't change the fact that they are still and always will be -- missing. Well, not really missing, just one sided. Tom has never been able to express love, and kindness...

Wow. With such idiocy running rampant, where does a girl or boy go when they can't always be "the strong one"? Who holds up the rock? I feel like we are all in such a sad and lonely place. I hold all of my friends and family at arms length and let them think they would support me should I...

For sure about the "do not know what to say". They probably heard the expression at another funeral or on TV and the comment either fit then or did not fit then either. Hugs and tears. They say it all without words. But, these are two things that do not flow freely. Keep your chapters of...

How about WARRIORS? I am not sure, but I get the feeling that the battle isn't over even though we walk alone... (it starts with W) My mom was widowed young, dad died of a heart attack. She is definitely warrior material.
