My Swedish Mom passed away in 2001 :( She was gone in one year :( My beautiful mother had the progressive kind, fast killing ALS :( I wish there was a cure, but me being a Juvenile Type 1 Diabetic, I know there are no cures :( My wonderful mother was only 56 when she died :( OMG how I miss her :( What a horrible, ungodly, nasty, disease ALS is :( Watching my mom get so much worse, and then died broke our hearts :( :( :( We followed what she didn't want, and stuck to that. Jag Alsker Dig Mom <3 <3 <3
