Our story started in 2007. It was a second marriage for both of us. We knew we were meant to be together from the get go. Our marriage was amazing. We never fought for the 11 years we were together. Discussions, yes, but fights, no. That was different from what I was used to, with previous relationships. Life was challenging though, navigating finances and a mixed family. Bryan was my rock. He was my calm, my reason, my strength. Bryan had so much pain during our time together, but we thought it was arthritis. Looking back, I wonder if it wasn't ALS all along. It wasn't until May 2018, until he was slurring words that panic set in, with all his other symptoms. May 2018 was full of tests, EMGs, MRIs,etc. Bryan was officially dx with ALS June 14, 2018, he took his last breath Oct. 13, 2018. Bryan was gone in 4 months. The beast took his precious life at the speed and force of a freight train.
