the ex has ALS
Man what a gut punch. She showed up at Thanksgiving dinner using a walker and barely able to speak above a whisper. She told our kids three weeks ago about the diagnosis but she must have known for awhile because her condition now is so poor. No way it progressed that quickly.
My kids are just gutted by this. First their half sister is born with ataxic CP, then I get my SCI now this. Yeah you're supposed to bury your parents but she is only 59 yo.
I am glad that she and I buried the hatchet years ago. More so since I can be there for my son and daughter. Still trying to sort out my feelings. But I know this...I'm not deferring any chance for moments of joy.
