Trust Me

A lot of people have commented on my positive attitude. Trust me, I have always had that attitude. I have always thought positively, cause I have seen so much negative in the world. I have seen extreme poverty in every country I have been to. But those people were always kind and welcoming. I figured that they were so far down, the only place to go was up. But they never thought they were poor, and they have the same dreams I and every parent has for their children.

My positive attitude comes when I see doctors that look at me and know there is no cure on the horizon. Their eyes tell me. I really appreciate the help my wife and I have received. But at the end of the day...when my wife literally puts me in bed, adjusts my bi-pap mask, makes sure I am comfortable, and then she gets in bed and hugs me. My wife has the hardest job of all. First she is looking at the man she married some 37 years ago, and watch him in one year change from a strong vibrant man, who was never afraid of work, who participated in everything.......to a man who is completely dependent on her care.

Trust me....I have always loved my wife, but I have seen a new side of my wife. She cares for me with soft hands and an even softer heart. She is always looking for ways to make her job easier, cause she knows if she finds a new way to do something, it makes it easier on her, and easier on me. I see the caring and genuine love she has for me.
Trust me, I know I am very lucky.

Trust me when I say ALS sux, and it will get even worse...I know it.
Trust me when I say I have no alternative but to think positive.
trust me when I say I am thankful for what I have...my wonderful wife, and 4 wonderful sons.
