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!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
ALS may have Rick in bed
But He still does what he can do!
I was so thrilled when a dozen red roses were delivered to our door! I was in awe how Rick pulled that off as I am the one who gets him the phone and etc. How did he do that without me knowing....sneaky....sneaky!!! I had called over to the hardware store in town (which happens to be where our local florist operates from). When I went out to do some errands Rick had the phone on his lap. He didn't have the phone number but all he had to do he said was hit redial!!! And it all fell in place!
