Hello Elaine and Happy Birthday sweetheart!
Life is a celebration, and we all who have experienced or are experiencing life with ALS understand how precious life is. At age 30 I would never have really understood that fact. You understand it all too well.
Take the beautiful memories of your Da and hold tight to those. Memories are a precious gift from God that we all hold onto of loved ones who have crossed over.
Have a joyous birthday celebrating life!
Kaye
