    • About Me

      i have a new life since July 24, 2008 when I lost my dad to a long battle against ALS. Life threw me one of the most difficult curveballs but I'm still standing because of the support I have received from family and friends. I remember thinking I was never going to make it through the rest of my life without him, but I am now graduating high school in May 2010. While I know that will be difficult, I know I am "lucky" to know the name of my guardian angel; always protecting me. I love you Papa and I miss you. June 27, 1956- July 24, 2008

      Type: Loss of a Parent

      i lost my father, whom I called Papa, on July 24 this year. the 1 month anniversary is this sunday and I am scared. he died from about a 4 year battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) . Even though I knew he was going to die sometime soon, I was expecting in the summer before my most important year in school, I am going to be a junior in high school in september. the poem really helped how I feel sometime, plus i bonded it being the same day.

      I am new to this website & grieving basically. I lost my father to ALS on July 24, 2008. It will be 4 weeks this thursday & 1 month on Sunday, August 24. it has been really hard dealing with the pain because it is right before the most difficult year in school, junior year in high school. Obviously since he had an illness I knew he was going to pass away at some point, but I never knew it was going to be so sudden. I miss him everyday soo much. I love you Pop always & forever

    • Open Depression

      I lost my Papa (dad) July 24, 2008 & have just been having a hard time dealing with everything. I'm not sure if I am depressed because I think I'm fine, but apparently not so much to the ones who love me. They are worried and have noticed I'm not my normal, bubbly self. Maybe I do have depression or a form of it because of my grief..? I'm only 16, way too young & at such a difficult time to lose my father..

    • Open Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

      I am 16 years old and lost my father to ALS July 24, 2008. He was diagnosed in September 2005 but probably had it for a year before that because he was complaining about cramping in his legs. It was extremely difficult to see my father suffer and deteriorate and I am at peace knowing he's not suffering anymore. However, I miss him terribly and just want him back in my life, without ALS. I love you Papa
