While going through hurtin_still's thread I remembered a childhood friend who isn't with us anymore. The similarity is remarkable.
Both our families knew each other and so we were introduced to each other when we were toddlers. We went to the same school and were thick-as-thieves getting into trouble whenever we were together. When we were about 12 years old, I remember him having difficulty speaking, his speech slurring like he was drunk. A year later he was diagnosed with ALS. His dad consulted a lot of doctors and found out ALS is genetic. Since no other member in the family had ever been diagnosed with such a condition, his dad got a DNA test done. The results were negative. His mom never said who his biological father was. He passed away on his 17th bday. I was at his bedside.
Till date no one knows the truth. His dad D'ed and remarried, his brothers haven't spoken to their mom till now. She had a string of bfs after her D but now she is completely alone. She is still protecting the OM.
It's not something I wanted to remember. It makes me lose faith in humanity.
