My dad was diagnosed in April and I sometimes share with him the humorous things you write. We laughed at your comment about getting a disease named after a baseball player, and you don't even like baseball. Well, he was a baseball player, and we all found it so ironic…<BR/><BR/>I was wondering if you will be at the ALS Walk on Sunday at Lake Merritt. If so, I would love to say hello if I see you. Dad considered not going but we convinced him that it would be an opportunity to connect with others who are dealing with the disease. We also recently went to Forbes Norris and are so impressed with the folks there. He came away feeling a bit more positive about what he's up against.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the inspiration you bring to others. It's helped me a great deal.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>JayJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13837176661360213441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-91300278918774052182008-10-15T00:13:00.000-07:002008-10-15T00:13:00.000-07:00Paul, you beat me to it!I was just coming on here ...Paul, you beat me to it!<BR/><BR/>I was just coming on here to say that not only was I picturing that book, "Love you Forever" but that our copy of that book was given to us by none other than Carla herself. Not only that, but Maclen's name is written inside the cover in Carla's handwriting in Black Sharpie. <BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-23802642089679200312008-10-14T22:09:00.000-07:002008-10-14T22:09:00.000-07:00You are leaving behind someone who will continue t...You are leaving behind someone who will continue to help me personally grow more than most people in my life.
