i hate lou gehrig's disease
one of the residents is dying from it, and it's horrible to watch. he's only been at the home for a couple months, and to see the changes in him is just heart-breaking. it's going so fast. back in april he was driving a car. now he has to maneuver his wheelchair with slight turns of the head. his speech has been quickly going, but today was the first day that i really couldn't understand him. i just wanted to cry. i hate it. i hate it.

Oh I feel for you having to watch that. The aunt of a friend of mine died earlier this year of that and it was horrible. Poor, poor man.
ALS is a terrible, TERRIBLE disease. And I don't envy you watching it up close and personal. I worked for The ALS Association and learned about it - and about the people who have it. And it just broke my heart.
:(
I can't wait for Heaven!
this guy's kids are trying desperately to witness to him now. hopefully they'll (well, GOD) will be able to get through to him.
it's so sad.
