- Quotes
[first lines]
Michaela Stone: [voiceover] No one can explain what happened to us on April 7, 2013. Some people called it impossible. Others called it a miracle. All I know is... it was the day my life changed forever. If you'd seen us that afternoon, you probably would have thought we looked like a typical American family returning home from vacation. My brother, Ben, and his wife, Grace, still in love after fifteen years. Their twins, Olive and Cal, always bickering like an old married couple. And the real old married couple: my parents. Still in perfect health, still trying to run my life.
Grandma Karen: It's not just about you. This family needs something to celebrate.
Michaela Stone: Okay, that's a pretty backwards reason for a wedding, but...
Grandpa Steve: How's this for a reason? Jared loves you.
Grandma Karen: And I know you love him.
Michaela Stone: [voiceover] Typical, right? But what you couldn't see is that Cal's leukemia wasn't responding to treatment, or that Ben and Grace were desperately struggling to find a cure, or that I still had nightmares about the car accident.
