Another Christmas with ALS. Wonderful neighbors and friends and my Pals still able to sit somewhat and play Left Right Center and we left having won two of the pots!
Attended another holiday party and met anther couple, husband in his fifties about 8 months in with ALS. His speech very affected. His legs good, similar to Phil. We had heard of him through mutual friends. We were having a general introductory conversation and I just started to cry. I felt like such an idiot. My heart just broke for he and his wife. I hate not having control. I can be just fine most of the time and when I least expect it I get a case of the waterworks. We all just hugged and moved on. I know it was hard for them to see Phil who is so much more advanced in his illness. Hopefully encouraging for them to know we are still out and about enjoying friends and life. And so it goes....
To everyone "peace on Earth, Good will to all"
