What blows me away more than anything about this family is the kids. No matter what photo you see them in, they are glowing with smiles, even though I am sure they know how dire their dads situation is.

Gives a man a lot of reasons to fight.

I wish nothing but the happiest of holidays to this incredible family.

If there is one reason for the Flames to win a cup. Just one reason only. It would be for this man and his family.

Watching someone you love pass away over years is a real life lesson. Its real and its about one of the toughest things to see nevermind tell the story. Tough crew. Good people.

That's tough to read, for sure. We all know how this movie is going to end, you just hope he can hang in there as long as possible.

She is a great writer. And how friggin tough are those kids?

“How is Chris?” people want to know.

I stumble over the same question I ask myself a thousand times a day. What they want to hear and what they don’t understand about this disease hang in the space between their words and my response.

“That’s complicated,” I want to say. “That’s a loaded question. How much time do you have? Do you really want to know?”
Wow, beautifully written and so heart wrenching to read. You follow their situation passively on social and here but you have no understanding about what they're actually going through.

I can't read that at work. But holy Chris and Kelsie are both an inspiration.

I'm at a loss for words. I just hope the Flames are being supportive.

That was a real rough read. I understand their perspective, seeing my dad deteriorating before our eyes from Pulmonary Fibrosis. It brought back a lot of those memories of escaping the reality at home.
