Through my months on the forum, have always admired the input of people like Mike, Tillie, Debbie- and the others who have lost their loved ones. Thought they were extraordinary people to stay in touch and still " give". Still think they are extraordinary, but also realize some of it is there seems to be little choice! We lived ALS 24/7 for such a long time, it becomes part of your very being, like the air you breathe. Now that my Joe is gone, there is such a void, and the people here, their stories, sorrow, humor, courage help fill the void. They have become part of my life and feel like longtime friends in the sorrow we share. I do eventually want to leave here and put ALS in the past- but not sure it is possible. Just hope we see a cure in our lifetime so that others won't have to suffer as our PALS did, and as we, as CALS are still.
