2. I can only hear my mother's voice in my dreams...

She has ALS and cannot speak...But I can hear her voice so clearly in my dreams. Can't hear it when I'm awake, either in person or in my head...It haunts me every day of my life... :cry:

3. I am SO sorry.

My father died of ALS, but he was talking until
the day he died.

He felt himself lucky that the "disease" seemed
to progress from his feet "up".

ALS SUCKS.

5. Yes, ALS SUCKS BAD!!!

I hate it, with every fiber of my being...Not to mention that my Dad has MS. I hit the shit lottery. eh?

I try to not think about it, but my dreams betray me, every night. Sigh. I have to keep on keeping on, but my mind is haunted by a deepness of...grief, I guess. I hate hate hate this so much. :cry:

7. I recently came across a tape of my mother's voice, some 30 years after her death.

I had no idea that she had such a heavy New York accent.

And are you alive?

10. Is this a TV series?

As a person living with ALS, I'm trying to stick around long enough so that my 12 year old son never has to say that.
