I went by myself today to see the Gleeson movie. I must say, it was the most heart warming movie I have ever seen. it is mixed with humor and sadness. I think I cried the majority of the movie but it did not matter since I was the only one watching it. It was an early movie.
Steve's attitude, love of life and love for his family was so inspiring. His wife's dedication and willingness to share so many private moments were beyond belief. The movie is brutally honest, shows the struggles of living with this disease, the struggles with faith, parents and the medical industry.
It is also filled with laughter, joy and hope. He never gives up and juggles both family and his support organization. He has done so much for ALS and those diagnosed with ALS. I am very honored to now be a part of his story.
I am home tonight and now have a different hate towards ALS. Its no longer only personal. I hate that this disease can strike such wonderful people. His journal for his beautiful son will have a huge impact towards ALS awareness. Steve, Michel, River, parents and friends you should be proud. I know it was life changing for me.
Seeing the later stages of the disease first hand was all new to me. I came out of the movie with a better understanding of my husbands future and how important it is to stand beside him in his choices.
I want to tell all the PALS on this forum...how much I admire the positivity you show and the grace you display when dealing with the losses.
