    I'm in pain most days of my life but I don't really care because it reminds me I'm alive and that is awesome. There are ocasions that I don't want to feel the pain of life and today is 1 of them, my friend who has lived an awesome life is dying of Lou Gherigs disease, and I hate dealing with it because he is an awesome person. I will spend as much time with him as I can because you never know what time you have. I hope you identify those that should have your attention and you give it.

    ALS is such an awful disease and I'm sorry that your friend is going through it. On a related note, have you ever read Tuesdays With Morrie ? Amazing true story about a college professor with ALS and the last years of his life as experienced with one of his former students (the author Mitch Albom). I highly recommend reading it.

    Looking backwards, I think my pain sucked. My senior yearbook said 'Imagine me not on crutches". I missed almost all of 2nd grade in a cancer unit watching kids die while my bed was full of blood. At 27 I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer and beat it. yeah, I know pain.

    Looking forward, I am grateful for these experiences. Separate mind and body, or connect them, it will be ok.

    My motto has always been, Make friends with pain, and you'll have a friend for life.
    Try weed, it helps to take your mind off of it.

    One of my best friends was diagnosed with ALS about 1 year ago. He still comes into work everyday. HE is the most courageous person I know. This disease is sooooooooooooooooooo fucked up and we need to find a cure.
