ALS, August 2003

I was 33 when i was told "sorry you have ALS and will probably die in 2 years."
well I'm still here, but i've lost so much. the ability to walk, talk and so on. i depend on my sisters for every thing. I can handle all of this but for 1 precious reason I can't.
I was a single mom to my angel gabrielle. I had to sign away my parental rights and she now lives with my sister. I see her every other week-end at family gathering.
I fight every day and pray for a cure.
