I’m sorry man. My dad passed from als and it’s literally the most heartbreaking disease to watch someone go through.

Sorry man. My wife has ALS. Though slow progressing, once you see the community you see how brutal it is. Whoever her caretaker is just remember they’re going through ALS as well. Best of luck to your family.

The quick for the lazy:

ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It affects control of the muscles needed to move, speak, eat and breathe and leads to all sorts of complications. Maybe linked to smoking or other harsh chemical exposures. There is no cure.

Anyway, cheers to Karen and her boy. It is a good photo.
