I dont know him well, but he thinks its from his service in Vietnam and exposure to Agent Orange. Please pray he finds peace, he is a kind man:pray:

It probably is related to agent orange. All of us that were on the ground in Vietnam was probably exposed to it.

I will pray for your relative.

Mitch thanks for asking.

Brutal disease and it takes you just a little at a time but fairly quickly. As a child I watched my grandfather die from this in three years time. Sometimes life is just not fair to some of us. Praying for him here.

:pray::pray::pray: A good friend (not a veteran, btw) died from ALS a little over a year ago. He was a fighter to the end. A great man, friend, husband, father, grandfather and son. Best wishes for your relative, Mitch. Don

Thank You from me, and Woody.
His words "I am at peace and my life and will are in the care of God. I live every day as a gift (which we should all do anyway) and am free of resentments which could be generated by the 'what ifs and if onlys' which are so destructive to my spiritual fitness. My life is in the hands of God and I truly feel much good will come of this. As my brother John said in his declining years 'I will win either way.' "
