My darling brave husband passed away last Wednesday at 13.22pm. He was so ill in hospital, but he proved himself to be a fighter for 30 days whilst suffering from bulbar mnd, pneumonia, sepsis, and a lower bowel perforation. I am so undoubtly proud of my husband. His name was Peter, he was 58...
This is to my father who passed away on July 25, 2018 at he the age of 52 from ALS. I am sad to say the I have not seen my dad in over 2 years and will surely miss him. The last time I talked to him was last year and the last thing I remember talking to him about was did you get snow where he...
It’s nice to share spiritual things one finds meaningful in and to their life.

My sweet mother (Sharon Mae) was diagnosed with ALS in 2013 and it completely came unexpected. To make matters worse, we were separated in different states. They said 5-years and it was about that. I had not known she had gone downhill that quickly and was taken by surprise when the care...
It's been a long time since I last posted. My PALS is still hanging in, defying all predictions. It's sometimes hard to believe it's been over 5 years.
