Between innings, there was a little film of Lou Gehrig - the very famous Yankee who had to retire early due to ALS. June 7th was Lou Gehrig Day, sending the message of the need/ search for a cure.
And alas, Bonnie Pemberton, a writer friend of mind, passed in December from this horrible disease. It was sad to see a vibrant amazing woman slowly lose her words and ability to communicate. She was a presence!
Anyway - it's good of the MLB to have special salute days, emphasize awareness, and to contribute funds for research. And it evoked memories for me - Bonnie had a great hearty laugh.
Have a good week my friends. And take a moment to remember/ salute a special person who's gone from your life.



Someone needs to find a cure...
ReplyDeleteYes. It is such a cruel disease. Very sad to watch a vibrant person waste away. Whoa!
