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!

Happy Valentine's!!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day Sweetheart!!!!! It is the 3rd Valentine's Day without Rick.  Once again I have a Valentine card that he so lovingly purchased and put away for me to open this year.  Each year when I pull out one that he pre bought for many years yet to come I am overwhelmed by his foresight and his love. I hope I don't outlive the cards yet to be opened! I can't imagine not getting a card from him!!!!

 

The inside of this year's card reads
 
"Some men search a lifetime
and never find the love they're looking for.
 
Some find her,
but don't know it
till it's too late...
 
Only a few truly realize what they've found,
and thank the stars
for their one, true love.
 
Happy Valentine's Day
from one of the lucky ones."
