I'm not sure if you knew what my Dad died from on April 27th this year but it was ALS. I listened to Darcy's thoughts read by her sister on NPR just now and it sums up exactly what my father must have been thinking and feeling. When my father passed away he did so just an hour before my plane landed. I was going up to celebrate his 57th Birthday with him. I miss him every day and am so thankful I have people like you in my life that stop by my desk every day just to say hello. There are days that I miss him so very much and it is always a comfort to know that other people care. Never underestimate the power of your smile and the effect it has on others. Thank you for writing this blog today. Jed, Thank you for this post. I’m not sure if you knew what my Dad died from on April 27th this year but it was ALS.

I always see the positive and don't let myself get bogged down with the emotion of the moment. My mom died when I was young and I never let the fact that I didn't have a mother upset me. When my dad died, I cried then I got over it. When my wife was diagnosed with Huntington's I thought at least we know what we dealing with now lets go forward. That is not how my wife reacted. She has get to come to grips with it. Her emotions have kept her from moving forward and living. This article helped me understand her "human" condition a little better. I always see that I'm alive and breathing. As I grew up my motto was "I survive". I do need to roll over and hug my wife at night because maybe she can't express that she needs it.
