All our love

It was a beautiful fall day today. I went to Bellingham to participate in the Walk to Defeat ALS organized by the Evergreen Chapter of the ALS association. ALS is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. My oldest brother, Dan, dies of ALS in November 2006.

The first time I took part in the Walk was in 2006, and Dan was still there.

Less than two months later, he was gone. I have participated in the Walk in 2007, 2008, 2009, and now 2010 in his memory. Here I am there today with my dad and mom.

I wish we could send this as a greeting card to Dan, saying, "We miss you Dan! We love you! We'll see you someday, but it sure is a long wait. Till then, all our love."
