Out at the club in the 80’s, I saw a cute boy that my friends happened to know. He was with another girl. I was assured they were just friends. So, I asked my friends to bring him to my party I was having. They asked, he said yes. I went home and planned a party. The rest is history. My husband Paul is my greatest blessing. God knew I would need someone special to walk with me in this life. Diagnosed with ALS on Valentine’s Day weekend 17 yrs ago, I continue to celebrate and be grateful for his love.
