    “I’m gonna be around Until you are able to stand on your own” “theres no place you can go that I won’t be with you” Steve Gleason is an amazing man.
    man that broke my heart …… 😔 I HATE ALS …..

    I was lucky enough to teach in a school where Rivers is a student and therefore, Steve was often present. He is such an inspiration and Rivers is a very special young man. Such a wonderful family!

    I’m literally crying more tears than I have in a long time. As a father of 6 (soon to be 7), all who are 7 and under, I am inspired by Steve and his wife. I think of all the moments I take for granted, and I’m driven to be better because of the example on display in this piece. Thank you ESPN for sharing the story of the Gleason family.

      I just finished the documentary Gleason. Wow. So emotional. It was done in 2016 and I didn’t realize Steve was still living. This is a great follow up. Have you seen the Documentary?

    Researching "The Head and the Heart" on Wikipedia brought me here! So glad it did. Playing one of my favourite songs in this heartfelt video made me cry, so much love and support from his family - he is one lucky guy surrounded and engulfed in pure love - Steve your words of love and wisdom are unforgettable and simply BEAUTIFUL! You're an inspiration I aspire to! 🥰💖

  • @gayactormichaelpenisdouglas

    As much as this made me cry, I smiled and chuckled more than a few times. Steve is hilarious. I mean, being on the field for his son's little league game literally wearing a target on his shirt. There's no way that wasn't his decision. He's a great man. Nothing but love for Steve Gleason, and I hope one day we can cure this horrible disease.

    Are medical professionals always wrong in their estimations. 2-5 years, Steve’s at 9 years hopefully many more but yeah you mostly hear them get it wrong and always seem to make the bad news worse it seems. I know they are preparing you for the worst but don’t they understand horrible news breaks down the body and has physiological chemical responses it’s a vicious cycle where some wouldn’t have died otherwise. Not with ALS but still.
