I have ALS. I tell family and friends, there are people who died today, who never saw it coming. Maybe they had a car wreck or were a victim of a sudden fatal accident.

You touched me and are a blessing. Thanks for your words. I have lost so many family members to this disease and your right in many ways, the disease is a gift. We got to say goodbye and left no unfinished business. If you should beat me to Heaven say hi to Dad for me!
