Life has a way of giving you a massive reality check at times though doesn't it?
On Friday I was told that Val Franklin had passed away, then on Sunday we found out that Rob Burrow had lost his battle against the disease. A stark reminder that at present there is only one winner when MND is involved.
I'm guessing that some of you reading this may well have known Val and so are fully aware of the lovely person she was. I first met her next to the 18th green at Rushcliffe Golf Club, as we waited for a group of ladies to finish a '72 holes in a day challenge'. Raising money for Stand Against MND. Val was one of the first people I'd met in person who also had MND. At that time I was visibly more advanced in my progression than Val, in my powered wheelchair and reliant on my ventilator. A casual observer would never have known we had the same illness.
Val would later tell me that she found that first meeting quite difficult. Looking at me was frightening, like seeing what the future could hold. To their enormous credit, Val and her husband Pete agreed to come over for a cup of tea to pick my brains about my journey. Nobody ever warns you about the mountains of admin that come with a degenerative disease, and if you don't keep up with it at your end you might not get the help you need. I'd been through a lot of it and I hope had a few useful tips.
Opening up and wanting that information takes immense courage. It shows in my view an acceptance of your circumstances, and a determination to make the most of the time you have. I'm so pleased that Val and I shared that outlook.
You would never have known what we were discussing based on the amount of laughter in the room. I was left with that familiar feeling of confusion as to why MND seems to attack such lovely people.
Val and her family became and remain stellar supporters of the charity, and I would frequently see them at the monthly golf club quizgo (highly recommended if you enjoy trivia and are of course willing to donate any winnings to a local charity...)* Val always had a smile and a chat whilst Pete always had a one liner at the ready.
*Not compulsory
Over time we saw each other less and less as we both found spending time out and about more challenging, until I heard the news last Friday. RIP Val, it was lovely to know you. All my love to the Franklin family.
A life with MND, particularly when you are integrated with patient communities on line and in person, means that losing people is tragically a frequent occurrence. A consistent reminder of your own proximity to death.
So how to react to such sobering news on such a regular basis? I remember I am alive. I have opportunity. I love. I laugh, I strive, I experience. In Vals honour, in Robs honour, for all the fallen warriors I've lost along the way,
I will live the most significant life I can muster.
Nothing else matters

I really want to thank Dr Ogbo for saving my marriage. My Husband really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my Husband has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Ogbo that he will help me bring back my Husband and change him back to a good man. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Ogbo casted a spell of return of love on him, and my husband came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his Whatsapp +2349057657558 or email psychicogboreading@gmail.com

After I and my husband got married, we relocated to another city and we both got jobs and started working and living together happily. We never had any problems until a colleague of his started doing all she can to get my husband’s attention. I never knew all along what was going until he started sleeping out and making excuses. Things got out of control and he eventually stopped attending to my needs. I knew at that point I needed help so I contacted Dr Isikolo and explained everything to him. He told me all that has been going and promised to fix the problems for me which he did. He cast a love reunion spell for me which reunited i and my husband and he started being the man I always loved him to be just after 48 hours Dr Isikolo worked for me. We are both happy now and it would not have been possible if not for Dr Isikolo. Contact him if you need any help. His webpage for more info: https://isikolo-temple.com or text him on WhatsApp via +2348133261196.
It gladdens my heart knowing i am able to come out here and tell people about Dr Lukas who fixed the problems i had in marriage and everything he did for me foster the joy and happiness between me and my husband. I was devasted when i almost lost my husband to another woman all because i had some issues with him and unknown to me also, a lady was out there doing everything possible to take my man from me. He actually left home for quite sometime and every effort i made to get him back never yeild any good result. I had to seek help from Dr Lukas who in his goodness swiftly came to my aid and fix the problem i had. My husband is back home to me and my daughter and this is mostly the best thing that has happened to me in a long while. No doubt the result of his works never fails to manifest after 2 days. You can reach out to him via email: okukutemple@gmail.com and also his WhatsApp number +44-7469341745.
