To my mother

[A&K]

Mom, you were my everything.  You loved adored and respected me throughout my entire life.  It broke my spirit seeing that rotten disease on top of all your health issues take so many of your faculties slowly.  Dad calls ALS an angry unforgiving disease.  I agree.  It stole you from us all even before you went to heaven.  Thank you for loving me and always making my life better.  Thank you for not getting mad at myself and Katie when we had Noah at such a young age.  Now he’s in your arms until we can be there one day.  I love you mom.  You’ll always be my hero.  

Your son, Allen.

It is a hard disease, I lost a friend to it a few years ago.  I'm sure your mom appreciates your message.
