Heather's Hope
"I never imagined politics would get in the way of hope."
-Christopher Reeve

I'm 33 years old, married for 12 years my husband goes by his nickname Bubba. On 6-2-07 he passed away from an accidental overdose. I miss him sooo much & I love him with all my heart!!! We have no children, but I have a 6 year old nephew, Derrick & a neice born 7-1-07, Amya.
Just when you think life can't get any worse, it has to get better... BAM, some idiot comes and completely destroys my whole family!!!
On January 18, 2008 someone broke into my parent's home around 3 am and shot my Dad to death! My family has been destroyed! Nothing can bring him back but the cold blooded killer must pay for this crime!!!
He took my Dad's life!!! I will not rest until the coward who stood behind the gun has his worthless life taken away!!!!
I tend to be the person who always listens, wants to help and problem solve. I'm honest and dependable, I always give my opinion, sometimes too much! I love Chris Daughtry's voice, his band, Josh Steely is a sweetheart. I just love DAUGHTRY!! I'm a animal lover and somewhat of a people pleaser until I've had enough of their bullshit...
ALS came into our lives officially in July 1997. The diagnosis turned my world up side down. I was only 21 years old and given 2 to 5 years to live. Well, I passed that time limit, its been 10 years now. I went through lots of denial, many doctors & tests, and some pity parties with myself. One day it hit me, "I am not dying with ALS, I am living with ALS"! From then on I accepted my disease I didn't like it but I accepted ALS. I'm totally dependant on others for everything except for using the computer. The affects of ALS are devastating, & depressing but I've accepted it and I'm content with my life!
WHAT IS ALS?
ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease is a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord, ultimately resulting in a loss of voluntary muscle control, paralysis and death. But what makes ALS particularly devastating is that as people progressively lose the ability to walk, move their arms, talk and even breathe, their minds remain sharp; aware of the limits ALS has imposed on their lives.

~Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"~
BEFORE ALS

AFTER ALS
..
People with ALS (PALS), their families and caregivers continue their fight against the disease,
each day they hold onto the hope that our nation will find effective treatments and a cure for ALS.
