Hi,
I do volunteer massage for hospice and was referred almost a year ago to Mike, who has ALS. We hit it off immediately; and until he lost most of his ability to talk, we had a lot of fun sharing a love of music and laughing about common experiences. I am very grateful to know someone of Mike's strength and courage, and to be able to help him even a bit. Mike decided to, after Thanksgiving, go to an in-patient facility run by a hospice other than the one with which I volunteer. Now I continue to see him, but as a friend rather than as a volunteer.
I started browsing these forums several months ago. Through your posts, I have learned a lot and have also been comforted. So, today I decided to join, but mostly to just say thank you. I have been educated, inspired and awed by what I have read here. You are an amazing group. Blessings to you all.
