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.

Michaela Stone : Where's, uh... where's mom and Jared?
Grandpa Steve : I texted with Jared. He couldn't make it over; work emergency.
Michaela Stone : And mom?
Grandpa Steve : Your mom got sick. She... she fought so hard.
Michaela Stone : What do you... what do you mean sick?
Grandpa Steve : She loved you kids more than life itself. You were everything to her.
Michaela Stone : No! No, no. I was just... I was just running with her on the beach. I came out here to tell her t-that she was right about me and Jared.
[breaking down sobbing]
Michaela Stone : No, dad! No, no!
