This is a story of pain, agony, and torture suffered by those afflicted with ALS. It is also a story of hope, love, and inspiration. There has been a heightened awareness about this illness recently but much is left to be understood about it. There is still no cure for it. While it is a limited recollection of my personal experiences and in no way presumes to represent what every person with disease goes through, I hope this book adds a little more to the body knowledge of the disability and loss endured with this progressive and fatal disease.
