I am a survivor of A.L.S., more commonly called Lou Gehrig's disease. This is my story that was woven together with the stories of my two surviving daughters. I have one daughter that I live with right now and the other one lives in another state. The words contained in this book are some of the accounts of my entire life to date; my trials, my victories, my heartaches and my laughs. Also contained within these pages are some of the stories from my family, since they were and continue to be a large part of my life. My daughters and I hope you enjoy reading our stories and that somehow, some way, they will also touch you personally and encourage you too in your struggles in this life.
