A sad day after my birthday

Today I got news about a friend with ALS named Chad Bowman passed away on April 2nd. He was just diagnosed in February. He chose to unplug his vent and he passed away peacefully according to his wife. He was only 34. I met him in the ALS chatroom where we hit it off. He was a project manager for a construction company which hit home with me because my job dealt in the same realm. I turned 46 on April 3rd. Birthdays are much more meaningful for me now. Well we are having a new porch with a ramp added to the front of the house. Also, a good friend has offered up his services to build me a dock for my pond. My brother and brother-in-law also offered their help. I am truly excited about the dock. It will assist me in my fishing to have a safe level surface to park my scooter on. It was 85 degrees on my birthday Tuesday and it will be below freezing by Friday. I am ready for summer. Mom came and spent time with me on my birthday and was a nice visit. I got my power chair a week ago and it sure helps on some days when walking is hard. Well bye for now and take care. Lee
