After 36 years, my husband and I are moving out of our home and into an apartment or a smaller trailer in a trailer park. We haven't decided which yet, but we are selling out place and auctioning off a ton of things and moving on....

I have not shared this, but it is on my mind.
My first husband died of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Their maternal grandfather also did.
Because of this family pattern, there is a potential for either of my kids, or...

I promised my readers an update on my friend with ALS. She left this earth just around 11:30 am Eastern time. Our loss is heaven's gain. It was a long fight and she was valiant to the end.
Her husband and young son now walk...

It is hard to concentrate on myLot today. Reality has set in.
My friend messaged me around three years ago. She had trouble walking. She was eventually diagnosed with ALS, a loathsome disease.
She had a familial type. Her dad...

My first husband's younger half brother is being tested next month for the same illness that killed him, and their grandfather.

Many of you remember (and may have participated in) the Ice Bucket Challenge that swept the world by storm back in 2014. Millions of people filmed or photographed themselves dumping buckets of ice and cold water over their heads,...

This morning, I found out that a long time friend is going into hospice. I have known her since she was a little girl. She is now a mom with a six year old boy.

My big plan for tomorrow is to go to a charity auction that is being held for a friend of a friend of ours. We don't know the man that this auction is for intimately, but he has been there to help us out some in our lives when we...

I've loved this show for years and always watch all of the old shows on various channels. I was just watching a show about the father who was diagnosed with ALS. He will most likely die young and become increasingly debilitated...

Not necessarily money but anything that you can give to the poor, do you give to them?
