This was a beautiful story to read! Thank you for sharing. My mom was diagnosed when I was 10 years old and I lost her last year. NOT to als but to cancer. I too was able to grow up ( I am now 37) with my mom having ALS for 26years. I admire your strength and closeness as a family.. that too is what kept my mom alive for that long! I am praying for you all and wish you MANY more years of memories and happy times. Such a blessing ❤️❤️❤️
