Visiting with Lonnie in West Jordan

My brother Lonnie was diagnosed with ALS a little over a year ago. This disease is horrible in every sense of the word! ALS has made my big, strong, oldest brother lose strength in most of the muscles in his body. Saturday afternoon we went to visit him and his wife Cari and spend some quality time with him. Words cannot express how happy and yet how overwhelmingly sad I was to be see him like this. I haven't seen him since last August and at that time, he could still talk and had some use of his hands. Now he struggles to get even a couple of words out. He is the same caring, loving brother inside. However, his body won't do what his mind wants him to. Lonnie is so humble, he is enduring well to the end. Something that I don't think I would be able to do in the same circumstance.

My nephew Eric's little girl Baylee just loved TorriLyn. She was so cute playing with her that night.
