My Grandmother

Posted by Erica on Wednesday September 03, @06:17PM
from the dept.
My Grandmother lost her long battle with ALS 3 years ago this New Years Day. She had the form of Bulbar Palsy, which took away her ability to eat, swallow, speak and eventually breathe. She was bed ridden for a good month and half before the disease consumed her tiny, frail body. Not a day goes by that my familiy and I do not think of her in some way or another. Let it be happiness of the memories we had with her,anger of how she was taken from us or just plain confusion on what this horrible disease is all about? Our friends and family will be participating Sunday, Sept.21 in the Walk to D'Feet ALS.It is a fundraising walk at Stoney Creek Metro Park here in Michigan. We do it in memory of our Grandma( we called her Gaugee) and for other families out there who have been touched by ALS somehow. I send my strength to Joyce to keep a clear mind and to continue to think positive. I send her family much hope that soon enough our doctors and scientists will break through with the much needed cure for this horrific disease.
