I am in a bad mood right now. Because of all the stuff that has happened to my dad he has to quit smoking. I told him that if he quit I would quit with him. So I have only had 3 cigs. today and well I usually smoke a pack a day so I am very pissy

My (Step)Dad was diagnosed with Lou Gehrigs disease my senior year of highschool. I cancelled my college plans and was at home to help him. I had to do everything for him cause he didn't have the use of his hands and arms, eventually he lost the use of his legs and then the use of his speach. All in a year. It was the hardest time of my life. Here was this strong hard working man and he couldn't even scratch an itch. I tell you what though, i'd give my legs to make and feed him some co-co wheats just one more time. It was hard and it sucked, but he needed it, and i could provide it.

At least your dad isn't definatly terminal,thats the worst.

I don't know much, but I know all about this.. If you need to vent, I totally understand.

You know, Raul, I see this every day at work. I see guests every day who have suffered strokes and heart attacks. I see sons and daughters going through the same things you are, the emotions...the struggle. Having a parent who doesn't even know your name. Our parents were like super heroes, this wasn't suppose to happen. I hear it every day. I hold a hand of someone's grown son and daughter all the time. Everything you are feeling is perfectly normal. So, don't beat yourself up over it. Its not easy, but you can do it. You are stronger than you think. And I think you are about to find out exactly how strong Raul is, and you might be surprised.

And believe me, its a trying time right now...but cherish every moment that you have with him. Even if it is mundane things such as calling doctors or checking blood sugars. They may seem like nothing but a pain now, but someday...they will mean the world to you. This is something that your brothers and sisters are not going to have.

You can do this. And so can he. He will be
