OUR FINISH LINE SAYS ALS DONE!
If asked to describe my mother-in-law in one single word, the one which immediately comes to mind is "selfless."
Late in the summer of 2021, our family learned that our incredible mother / wife / mother in law / Grannie / wonderful friend to anyone she meets, had been diagnosed with ALS.
A gut punch to all who know and love her, she hasn't let this diagnosis stop her from caring for others or thinking of everyone else before she thinks of herself. When you stop in for a visit, it's a matter of moments before she fires up the stove to "just whip something up," or reaches for the shaker to make you a drink. Before you can ask how she is doing, she's beaten you to the punch... or, chances are, she's whisked the grandkids away to steal some snuggles on the couch. She is a lover, plain and simple.
So while she's been selflessly living her life, putting the comfort of others first, this is my small part to try to help. To try to make a difference. And to show how much she means to us all. We love you, Grannie.
