    Anna's husband's care and love he gave to his beautiful wife brought tears to my eyes. Caring for a loved one is a tough role but he is awesome. Sorry to read through the comments that Anna passed away from this cruel disease but better care she could not have wished for. This was a couple that took their vows seriously and stuck to them.

    This family is truly extraordinary. What a truly touching love story, not just between the husband and wife but also their kids. This is the real thing!! The way he cares for his wife is just so tender and gentle, and the kids support for their mother is wonderful to see. This is an awful disease, and they are handling it so incredibly. I don't know where they get their strength from, but thank you for sharing this story and touching my heart.

    My mum had MND progressive bulbar palsy she also enjoyed a drink, she would have a glass of port in her ‘peg’ when we had our ‘happy hour’ at 5. I bought some prawns for her to taste in her mouth. She to would not let this disease get her down. We would chat on my kids doodle’ board. We would laugh when she forgot how to spell some words. I had to guess what she wanted to say one day and I got it all wrong and she laughed so hard. 💕

      You have to say you never know. When really faced with serious illness it can change an awful lot of attitudes. If it comes to the point where children (however old they may be) realise they really could lose you, their mother, you could be surprised. But let's hope you never have to find out!

Her last 3,were in the assisted living facility, The Residence, in Darien, CT. Thks to the medical staff, including care givers and Hospice, who took such great care of my sister.

    Fibromyalia also, we put through so many tests before final diagnosis. Can take couple of yrs. N I eventually was in denial when I found out especially being so fit n healthy then next have a disease that cripples n changes your life overnight. The meds itself messes us up. The pain n muscle spasms daily especially in winter gets so bad. I can only imagine what MND patience go through. Worst is people don't believe that we have a condition n treat it like a mental problem which can easily be erased. Thank God for Annas husband support
