Everyone in my family is dying. My 44yo husband was diagnosed with ALS, 7 months ago. He can no longer speak or walk. Last week, my 8yo was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. His light has gone out. Me, of heartbreak.

Eli passed away in my arms this morning at 6:13. His suffering from #DIPG is over. Brian @Drive73737681 and I are both shattered and numb. We have just been through the most brutal 10 days, and it still doesn't seem possible. Forever with us, Dewdrop. #LoveForEli

This is Brian...my brilliant, funny #ALS husband, extubated, then trached. His front tooth is broken from the intubation and seems to be the least of the concerns for the ICU staff. He is breathing better now, but don't scroll without understanding this is what ALS looks like.

Dear @POTUS @FLOTUS My nine year old, Eli, died four months ago from #DIPG : a brain stem #cancer . Please don't forget about "rare" childhood cancer. His brain was donated so no parent has to endure this horrific pain. Make the #CancerMoonshot Count! I miss you bubby

Eli isn't singing anymore. He is no longer opening his eyes, or swallowing. Today is day 5 that our 9yo with a #DIPG has been completely unresponsive, but with normal vitals. He is comfortably medicated for pain, but I worry most if he is afraid. This is agony. #LoveForEli

I miss Eli, like he died today, everyday. It's been 5+ months. Today I had to ask myself, "How long can Brian @Drive73737681 live like this?" #ALS has taken everything from him. He is in severe pain if he is awake or a drug induced sleep. This is not living. #FUCKALS

It was more emotional than I thought it would be, then @kbellgerke , my BFF, made a genius suggestion. She said "write him a note, then cover it up, and it will always be there". #LoveForEli

Nope, there is no event today. When I need a little extra strength & determination, I put on the oldest @MomsDemand RED shirt I own. The first one I ever received (the letters are all cracked), then I went on to fight the gun lobby . This shirt has special powers. #keepgoing

As I read this, all I can think about are the military mothers, fathers, wives and husbands with their family members stationed in those bases. #allisNOTwell you insensitive dickhead.

These are my boys, Dec. 31, 2019. Just before Brian began having #ALS symptoms, then diagnosed in Aug. 2020. And my beautiful boy. My beautiful, kind, loving miracle baby, Eli. I'm so terribly sad.

This is Brian...my brilliant, funny #ALS husband, extubated, then trached. His front tooth is broken from the intubation and seems to be the least of the concerns for the ICU staff. He is breathing better now, but don't scroll without understanding this is what ALS looks like.

I have spoken with many of your staffers @SenRickScott I have given you the facts. I will be at your home office on the 12th, for a 1:00 meeting. I hope you will be there to talk about how, together, we can solve this.

A good friend said.. "He was not here to stay. Some just come to bless us for a short time, then God just wisk them back to Him. He wants them to stay as pure of heart as they are before the world can touch them." I really want to believe that. Every second I am heartbroken.

Thankful for the best friend in the world, that makes you get out of the house when you are a full time caregiver & feel like you can't leave home. Also, in honor of @GovRonDeSantis we went to a Gay bar. One day I will have your seat and #Florida will truly be free. #SayGay

LAST RADIATION DAY!! Eli looks like he is pain, but he is screaming with joy! He feels good and the radiation will continue to work for 2-3 weeks. Big ❤ to our therapist/technicians at @GenesisCare that treated Eli like their own. Now #onward to be the 1st kid to beat #DIPG

It used to bother me when people gave me fresh flowers, you know, because they die. When Eli was diagnosed, people sent flowers, and someone said "it smells like a funeral home in here", but now it reminds me of him. Now, I am capable of giving myself flowers and that's power.
