Thanks for taking time to "be back."<BR/>Keep up the good work of communicating about Martha's ALS - we must not forget! I think many of us learned to rely on God, to be faithful in praying and trusting Him, and to look - to always look for something good.<BR/>I can see Drew in his new realm of wrestling. He is willing to face physical challenges and to work hard to achieve good things. I pray you and Val will continue with the "good parenting" you are doing. And - never lose your crazy, entertaining humor!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602805644054658479.post-16406741391123736992008-02-07T13:10:00.000-05:002008-02-07T13:10:00.000-05:00Machoid,When you pay attention, it sure doesn't se...Machoid,<BR/><BR/>When you pay attention, it sure doesn't seem so rare. Thanks for remembering Martha and pointing out what's going on in Pulaski County.Sleepyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244018858264572598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602805644054658479.post-29725341067638855242008-02-07T12:26:00.000-05:002008-02-07T12:26:00.000-05:00You know, I guess few of really know anything abou...You know, I guess few of really know anything about ALS until it hits close to home. I know I did not know anything until my diagnosis four years ago. If you make it past six months, at least I got over the abject fear of dying tomorrow and learning to live with the disease and it terrible progression. <BR/><BR/>It is up to us who have the disease and who have lost loved ones to let the world know about ALS and that there is no known cause and, regrettably, no cure, and not real hope for one on the horizon.<BR/><BR/>Heck, after four years of struggling to get legislation to establish a national registry of those with ALS, one lousy Senator with high political aspirations blocked the legislation on its final step for approval. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for putting down your thoughts for posterity.ALS Grumpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03197310566321587027noreply@blogger.com
