hard times

Well I guess along with the good days I have to admit there are some hard ones like today. Trying to figure out "why" is a long thought process. I know you may be thinking, "Well you have ALS, how can you even have one good day?". Prayer warriors is the key and that's where you come in. Please continue to pray for peace with this disease, for strength, and for our kids. I know my good days are attributed to Doug, the kids, and the rest of my family. We all ask "why?", and I have to say "why not me?". Mom and I did our share of crying today but I think that comes with this territory. Thank-you for praying.

Also, for those of you not in Madison, I want to introduce you to 2 people who have entered my life, because I know they have a love for me and they are care-givers by nature.

Bette is an angel from God who is a member of our church, and who gives of herself all the time. She is here many days sitting with me, even holding my hand if I fall asleep. I love her to pieces and couldn't get along without her.

Now for Gina - Gina is my neighbor, friend, care-giver and so much more. She even comes over to take me to the bathroom. What a friend! I love her to pieces also. Her twin girls are my adopted grand-daughters. All three of them are God's angels to me.

So along with the good comes the hard, and even though I know God will never give us more than we can handle, I do ask that question.
