My wife and I went to the calling hours for the second time this year for a friend’s wife that died from the disease. Last night was a friend’s wife she was a retired VT state police officer Mother of two and was only 53. She was diagnosed only 9 months ago and rapidly deteriorated. Just last Saturday morning my wife gave her a annual back and neck massage. My wife is a massage therapist and massaged both of the two departed women. What a awful thing to watch a healthy love one suddenly go through such a horrific transformation in which they can’t walk,speak. I don’t know what to say to the surviving husband and there children. The suffering for theses young women is over perhaps they can have some comfort in that thought. The reality of the moment is like a slap in the face and makes you realize maybe our own hardships aren’t that bad.
The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price

he lasted around 2 years.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

That disease should be only for the wicked.....breaks my heart
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

With diseases like that people should have the choice of medical euthanasia. Even a dog gets that consideration when suffering.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
