    Visiting a friend with als for the first time

    Hi, I don't come here much anymore, but a quick story. My husbands childhood best friend came to visit him in Nov 2012. They hadn't seen each other in over 25 years. It was a great visit. My husband died in Feb 2014. Flash forward to May 2015. His friend who visited was DX with ALS.
