8 years ago today....

Postby mfc2006 » Fri Apr 06, 2012 3:32 pm

We lost my Dad after a short & intense battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) & I still miss him terribly. Tell others how you feel while you have the chance.

He is sorely missed, but I can feel his presence. Love you, Dad.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. As a nurse, I have always said that ALS is one of the worst/hardest diagnoses that a person could receive, or go through with a loved one. So incredibly difficult and so incredibly sad.

I am sorry, man. My dad's buddy died from ALS a few month's ago. It was long though... Several years... Very sad.
