I went on a date once with a guy who said I laughed easily, but he said it like it was an insult. We did not go out again. I am happy you think it is a quality to admire! And I never know what to do with sentences I want to end in prepositions. It doesn’t sound right to use the formal phrasing, but I always feel improper ending with a preposition. A dilemma. I like how you handled it here.

Sarah, I relate so closely to all of this. I have an auto-immune disease where my muscles attack themselves and it also affects my lungs. I’ve had a few false alarms and winters are very tricky and I’ve had close calls there but I’m still here. The birth of my daughter triggered the disease and I know that anguish of thinking about my kids and their future. While some parents might lament them gaining independence, I am always stoked. I need in a sense to make myself redundant, even though I’m planning on hanging around. A close friend of mine has ALS, which is how I found your post. I don’t think I’ll ever stop wondering why such awful things happen to beautiful people. I have become a real believer in the importance of medical research. My disease has a number of treatment options etc and I’m so conscious of the need to find long term effective treatments for ALS and ultimately a cure so people don’t have the heartache. xx Rowena

Sarah dear,

Your post is so inspirational, focusing on the positive things in life. I am pretty anxious about my son’s future and often forget to enjoy the present moment. I will start doing it from today ! Thank you Sarah
