My mom passed away on December 22,2008 with ALS. She was such a wonderful person, a wonderful friend, grandmother, sister and mother. She dedicated her life to helping others.
She started her career as a nurse, went on to teaching nursing, back to nursing and finally along with the government brought a wonderful program called "Extra Mural Hospital" to our area. She was the manager of this program for many years until her retirment in 2002.
My mother had a wonderful faith in god, one that I might add I didnt for what was happening to her. She would always tell me I had to have faith. As she worsened (still not knowing what she even had) I would say," mom how can you have so much faith" when this is happening? She would always reply, God has a reason for everything, you must be strong and believe in him and what he does.
Well even now that she is gone, I still do question his reasoning behind what I consider one of the most cruel diseases I have ever heard of. However I found and still find myself thanking him for certain things from time to time. On the morning of her death (she had slept away very peacefully) I thanked him for taking her the way he did.
The more I tried to hate him the more she made me love him.
It took the most important thing from my life but taught me so much about myself and what I had inside. I want to make more people aware of this disease and help those who do have it.
