Strength

Mr. L. is a 33 year old male who, unfortunately, has ALS.

He walked into his home 6 months ago and is now already wheelchair bound.

They (he and his wife) have a 9 year old son and his wife is currently 6 months pregnant.

They were  incredibly strong, hopeful, but also realistic.

They know his chances of living more than another two years are slim.

He openly talked about end of life plans as well as funeral arrangements.

While I know they have had many a sad day individually and as a couple, their strength was amazing.

It was an honor to meet them.
