Ma famille, ma vie et la SLA, My Familly, my life and ALS

Writing this blog has made my think of all the wonderful and sometimes sad memories I have of Daddy. I would like to share some of them with you, to remind you all that when though times are tough, we still have our memories to cling to and to remind us of better times. Riding a Bike We went to the park down the road from where we used to live in Rugby, Dad had taken the stabilizers off my little bicycle and was holding on to the saddle running beside me as I pedaled like the wind. I'd told him “Don't let go Daddy, hold on to me” “No baby I'm here I wont let go, I've got you” At one point I was talking to him and he wasn't answering me. So stupidly I looked behind me to see where he was, turns out he was no longer next me. He was stood a few feet away watching me. That's when I realised that he hadn't got me, and that I didn't know how to stop... So I stopped the only way I knew how, by falling off... ...

Le 10 était le 26ème anniversaire de mariage de mes parents. Il y a 26 ans et 2 jours, ils ont déclaré leur amour devant le monde entier. Ils ont dit ces fameux vœux sacrés : Je te prends pour époux.

Si j'ai le don de prophétie, la compréhension de tous les mystères et toute la connaissance, si j'ai même toute la foi jusqu'à transporter des montagnes, mais que je n'ai pas l'amour, je ne suis rien.

Today is Mum and Dad's 26 th wedding anniversary. 26 years ago today they declared their love in front of all their family and friends. They said the sacred vows:  "I take you, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life."  Auntie Iris read from 1 Corinthians 13, for those who don't know it : If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
