Our dad was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in July 2011. This is our story.

ALS Does Not Define Our Dad
I came across this picture tonight. It's from Madysen's birthday in October 2011. A pic of Mom & Dad with two of their favorite people. I can't believe the physical change in Dad in the last 6-7 months. It's startling to say the least.
BUT it's important to remember that ALS does not define my father's life. It is a life rich in love, joy, peace, worry, challenges, hard work (lots of work), humor, tears, tantrums, prayer, faith and fun. ALS is a thief, but it will NOT take away everything.
And Lynette's right - - I will be forever thankful that we were able to take our family trip last fall. What a blessing!
