This PSA by The ALS Society of Canada so accurately captures the reality of life with ALS.

ALS Matters

I know it’s difficult, heartbreaking to watch. I see myself and Aiden so clearly in this PSA. The reality of this disease is that it can destroy families. People just have no idea, and many/most don’t want to know. I am determined to heighten awareness about ALS. People living with ALS are basically written off, left for dead by the medical community, and sadly… by society. That just is not acceptable. People need to understand what we are up against, what we, and our families have to deal with. People need to be moved. People need to stop looking the other way. This disease needs to be stared in the face, and battled. ALS can strike anyone, any family. It IS your worst enemy. Fight it!

It’s like being really, really drunk,
and it doesn’t feel good anymore,
and you just want it to wear off,
you want to sleep,
and wake up grateful for the hangover,
a sign of recovery.
You just want to pull yourself together,
be normal again,
but you never are.

Yes we can!

Congratulations President-Elect Barack Obama!

I look forward to a new era!
