We have been told by multiple health professionals that ALS tends to strike nice people. They tell stories of treating sweet, kind, lovely people who for some reason have been struck by this terrible disease.
Jeremy would definitely fit this profile. He is calm, funny and even tempered. He is devastated, of course, by his prognosis - but he tells the doctors about his deep faith. And he gives 1000% to maintaining as normal a life as possible,
When he met our daughter, they fell in love quickly. Long story. He sent me a note saying what an amazing mom I must be, to have such a wonderful daughter. Slick? Maybe. But I don’t think so. He was completely sincere.
We tease him now, saying he should have been an asshole and maybe he could have avoided this. But he’s nice. And sweet. And handling ALS as well as anyone could.
