I will carry you - Michael W Smith

This is to show support for one of my fellow bloggers.  Her husband has ALS and they are having a difficult time.  I want her to know that even though there are many miles between us, I am only an instant away if she needs to talk to someone.  God Bless all those suffering with the horrific disease ALS.
Who ever reads this please just stop for a moment and ask God to give these wonderful people the strength to get through each day.

ALS Faces and Facts of ALS/ TO MY GODMOTHER and all who have ALS

ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease aka My Beloved Godmother

Here we go again.  Another person in my life is faced with a fatal disease.  Let's see, there was my cousin...Waegner's Granulomotosis. Age 50.  There was my sister-in-law...stage 4 colon cancer that had metastasized to the liver. Age 51.  And now my Godmother...ALS.  Age 73.  Although she feels blessed to have lived this long without the disease.  Her father died when she was 10 from ALS (in 1947 they called it MS because ALS was not an official diagnosis).  I don't understand why all of this happens.  But then, I am not supposed to understand.  I am supposed to know that bad things happen to good people (a book by Harold Kushner) and that it is all randomness.
