its been almost a year now since i went through the most horrible experience in my life. but during that time, i learnt to move forward. with support from my friends and family. no matter how bad time got, i managed to overcome any obstacles. but my lord, i've yet come across another obstacle in my blessed life. someone close to me, a family to me has been going through a lot recently. truthfully, i have not been able to look into his eyes. i'm afraid of acknowledging his pain. i dont want to accept that he's near defeat. i want to keep believing that i will know that he will be around for a longer time to give me the strength and the courage to keep going forward. but reality is harsh. my friend has been suffering for almost 7 months now. he's learnt that he has a possible that he's suffering from ALS. its term is Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually lead to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.
i always have feared that he might had been affected like this and my fear's been realised. i'm trying to remain as strong as i can. all i hope is that everything will be alrite. i pray that my prayers will be answered. i pray that grace will be given.
