when i was diagnosed with als i was given a credible list of resources and the instruction to educate myself without terrifying myself. i learned every horrible detail of als: it’s always terminal, it’s going to get worse before it gets better and better is death. no where in any of my reading did it mention that receiving an als diagnosis would introduce me to the greatest, most amazing community of heroes. conversely, no where did it mention that the people i’d meet through this diagnosis would die too soon. today we celebrate the life of our own, jim hilliard. this is one of my favorite pictures of jim, just loving his family endlessly. i’m so thankful for @hilliardfamilystrong and everything y’all have done for this community. we love y’all so so much 💜
I love your giant wings – fly high my friend.
