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!

Rick and Joan here...Christmas Eve Carrollers!


We were snuggled by the fire tonight...a very cold Manitoba Christmas eve...when we heard the beautiful sound of Christmas carols being sung outside. We went to the door and were met by a group of young people from one of the local churches.

They were going door to door on a very very cold night singing their hearts out. We invited them in to warm up for a few minutes and were treated to several more wonderful carols right here in our own living room. We were very touched and it made a very difficult day so much better! What a memory thanks to all of them!
Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year to all!
