“This disease is taking my body but it will never take my spirit.”

“Four things I’ve learned.”

A few kind, caring comments:

“Everything happened so fast it’s sad to watch but in a way he’s still able to spread ALS awareness even after he’s gone.”

“ALS often moves at a shocking clip. My aunt was diagnosed in December and she died the following June. My cousin told me how he watched her deteriorate from day to day.

It’s the scariest disease I can think of.”

“My heart…..this poor man.”

“ALS is one of the most cruel things on earth.

And eff Trump and eff Elon for gutting research to fund the cure so those two effers & their pals can have tax cuts they don’t need.”

“You could really see/feel his frustration in this message. He’s so clearly present mentally and fighting his body so hard. I cannot imagine what that felt like for him. It’s awful.”

1. Live now, in the present.

2. Fall in love with something.

3. Choose your friends wisely.

4. Fight.

“This is maybe the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever seen. And as moving as it is, I feel as though I’m invading those girl’s privacy by watching it.”

“I lost my dad this last year and can’t articulate how much hearing these words affected me.”

“Same, crying now. What a beautiful thing they have. I have the last voicemails my dad left me and I put it in a build a bear and I sleep with it every night and squeezing it and hearing my dads voice comforts me so much.”

“My mom died a little over a year ago and I have the last voicemail she left saved on my phone. It wasn’t anything special. I haven’t even listened to it, I just know vaguely what it is from visual voicemail. But now I save at least one voicemail from everyone who leaves me one. You never know when the last time you hear someone’s voice will be the last.”
