my son alex

My 24 year old son Alex died on July 12th. He had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a disease that slowly destroyed his muscles, leading to physical disability and also affected his heart and breathing muscles. I am writing this Blog to talk about Alexs life and mine as I begin living without my son.

I just got the link to your Blog from my sister kate Maley who's son also recently passed due to the same illness he was roughly age 24. I am teary and feel for both of you . We had two brothers pass away when I was 10-11 years old they had Duchenes as well . I watched my family go from 6 kids to 4 with the older ones going off to collegee this left it with just two my sister Kriss and I to stand by and watch our parents lay low . All of this has my memory clammering to return to the days of our full family the happiest time of my life.
Take care and bond with kate she is a beautiful women sounds like you two need each other .

Love
