Yesterday was Mariah's dads birthday. 43 years old.
What would you do if you knew it was your last birthday to celebrate where you can still walk and talk?
That thought pondered my mind all day.
Aggressive Lou Gehrig's is quickly taking his quality of life. His voice is holding on strong, thank God. Eric loves to talk and I am guessing that will be the hardest function he will lose.
A last family vacation begins in two weeks. He was hoping he wouldn't be in a wheel chair and isn't.
He has been in Florida for the last month again staying at Danny & Holly's, his cousin and best friends house. He needs the warmth for his muscles to function. Mariah feels relief that he is in good and happy hands.
March 11, 2012, his 43rd birthday.
How would you celebrate your last quality-of-life birthday?
I would want to be outdoors, in the sunshine, in nature. It was an unusually beautiful 65 & sunny day so I took my girls for a birthday celebration for Mariah, even though she didn't know why.
We went to Taggart's for ice cream. Mariah had never been there and loved it. A walk in the park then home where Mariah and I sat outside basking in the sunshine reading books from a collection we are sharing, while Brooke played with the neighbor boys, Andy & Bradley.
What would you do if you knew it was your last birthday to celebrate where you can still walk and talk?
Happy 43rd birthday, Eric.
