Absolution captures the feelings about what is goin on ALS, family and otherwise. Your writing is so inspiring and touches each readers soul. I had so many reactions: going to college at Columbia and the scenes from the original movie, having had the chance to sit in personally with Brainstorm and the doctors and see just how promising their treatment is and wanting to tell you and your family everything that makes a nerd mathematician excited about it and being another PMP advocate. I know we are thousands of miles apart but I doubt the distance means anything

I constantly try to wrap my head around the tragedies surrounding us-needless ones that make no sense at all. Being kind is where we all need to start, to just be kind to the people around us, the ones we love, the ones we don’t know. I try to reach out to as many people I can-and Impact them in a positive way. That, I think is really living. Look at what an impact you’ve made-$40k!! Raising awareness, offering a platform for people who also live with ALS and want/need to be heard-you’re doing quite a lot too!!!!

Well said, Sarah! There is only a small place for self pity because it takes up too much room and we could all use that room for delight and creativity. Self pity happens, and that pause to feel pain and fear and anger gives us time to rearrange our thoughts and priorities into something stronger than it was before, and hopefully share that strength with others, as you continually do. You are a beautiful soul, and I consider myself lucky to know you and read your blog.
