Have you taken the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge?
I was hoping that no one would challenge me to do it but
my daughter-in-law, Caroline, did the challenge in honor of
my mother and passed the dare on to me. How could I not?
My mother has a slow-moving form of ALS and as she has
gotten worse, I have moved them to my city so I can take care
of she and my father more easily.
She was Miss Auburn (University) in 1947. My father was
a pilot in World War II. They are in their 80's now.
I was explaining the Ice Bucket Challenge to her and she asked
if she would get the ice water poured on her and I assured her
that she would not but I wanted her to thank the many family
members that had done the challenge in her honor.
Well, ooopsie! I didn't step back far enough from her when
I poured the bucket of ice water on myself!
