How it all started (part 2)

I received an email from him and he thanked me for friending him.  I remember emailing him back and telling him I liked his name...(it's also my older brothers name) he didn't catch that part at first, and then he emailed me back saying he liked mine as well...we had chemistry from the start!

My father was diagnosed with ALS in the spring of 09, he had been through a battery of tests. His first symptoms were muscle twitching and he was extremely tired and depressed. If you knew my father you would know without a shadow of a doubt something was wrong, as he never sat down during the day.  He could out work someone half his age! Of course I was Google-ing all of his symptoms, it came up with ALS and I never mentioned it to my mom as it was the worse case scenario. ALS affects everyone differently to start. My father's disease mainly affected his breathing. He died August 23, 2010.

During this time, David had been explaining things that could help him, and of course he was there for me. He invited me to a fundraiser they were having for him at his church. I decided to go and meet this incredible man in person!  More tomorrow!!

 At the fundraiser!
