Welcome
This blog is about a new walk with my husband Rick & I since he was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig's Disease or MND (Motor Neuron Disease) on February 1, 2008.
This blog was started as a way to keep our family and friends and anyone else interested in our battle with ALS updated.
So as you read this blog please keep us in your hearts and prayers.
The blog starts from the most current to the oldest entry. Rick has started to blog now also as of April 1,2008 so this site has become officially "our blog".
My dearest husband Rick passed away on August 13, 2010,
2 1/2 yrs after diagnosis. Now I have to learn how to walk in the courage, strength and bravery that he did in fighting this disease. He promised me he would be waiting for me in eternity on a park bench. Together Forever!

Many many many thanks to Rob for making Rick's wheelchair leg support strap! It really makes a difference to his comfort especially when he tilts his chair back.
It was made out of two strips of nylon webbing sewed together with Velcro stitched onto the back. It is adjustable and easy to take on and off.
It is one of those things that is nearly impossible to find. We really appreciate it!
