One Step Forward…
I like to outsmart my ALS. We are dancing, and of course my ALS believes he is leading. We’ve been dancing this dance a long time, every day, day after day, and although he throws in a new step or an unexpected turn now and then, I’ve learned to predict his very particular style (”know your enemy”, they say), I’ve learned to see him coming, I’ve learned to poise myself when he tries to trip me up, I’ve learned new ways to move and moves to avoid, I’ve learned that he is always here, and we will always dance.
