Greetings All: It's been 9 months since Liz Passed after Our 5 Year ALS journey. Not a Day Goes by without thinking about her. Part of Me is emberassed to Say that I've started a new relationship. The guilt is horrible at times and other times I feel like I deserve some happiness after Being...

Nope, I didn't stay up to see lighted balls, marshmallow chicks, pickles or sundry other things descend at midnight... By then I was engaged in checking my eyelids for light leaks ... :lol: However, now that I have everything in place for our first Eucharist of 2017, I did want to pop in...

Today was one of the good days and at the end of the day... I realized... the reason it was so grand. Steve was tickled, happy and talked to me like he used to before ALS came into our lives. Why did he choose today when there was nothing special going on? It was because I was my pre-ALS self...

I would like to thank the CALS who have stayed after their losses to help us PALS as best as you can. I can name many of you but I'd leave some out. You have made a miserable two years just a little more bearable. I wish for you healing and a return of joy and happiness. And thank you for your...

Over Memorial Day weekend my kids and I all flew up to Maine to spread Lonny's Ashes. He was raised in a small town on the coast and considered that his home so I decided that would be a good place for him. I rented a house in the town he lived in and we had a lovely time walking around and...
