Gleason Page #3
I'd have to help
take care of him.
It wasn't a big enough reason
not to have a baby with him
and have all the beautiful
things that having a baby,
you know, bring to a family
and a couple.
Here you go, Steve-O.
It's definitely in there.
What is this all about?
of myself.
This is intended to be
a gift for you,
my child
who I have not yet met.
MICHEL:
a hard head?
WOMAN:
It could.That comes from his dad's side.
My intention is to pass on
as much of who I am
as possibly can to you.
And I think if I can do that
in a good way,
it can be even more meaningful
than having
a father who's around
for 30 or 50 or 60 years
of your life.
Now, I hope that happens too,
but this is a nice little
backup insurance plan.
every week or so
there's a new thing
where I'm like,
"Oh, I can't do that."
I'm losing that.
I lost that, just lost that."
[MAN SHOUTING]
We have to have
in the house?
We got one pregnant woman!
Well, get in, girl,
you're the starter.
On your marks.
MAN:
Here we go.Get set.
We're set!
Go! Go, go, go.
Not everybody knew
that Steve had ALS.
They were treating him
like was still a healthy
ex-football player.
I hadn't cried, I think,
in a long time.
It's just kind of like,
this is gonna be okay.
But seeing that kind of,
like, awkward gait,
it crushed me.
[PEOPLE SHOUTING]
Yeah, buddy!
You did it!
Stretch! Stretch.
Stretch.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
Good job, dude.
No one knows what
I don't want want him
to go through this.
I don't want to deal with this.
For the first time,
you don't want to realize
that this is the truth.
And in those moments
you realize it's the truth,
and, like, this is f***ing
happening to my husband.
This is happening.
STEVE:
"Why is this happening?"
You know, me and Michel
are so good together.
We're so perfect,
being really good people.
So I kept asking
over and over again,
"God, if you have some
control over this universe,
"If you have control over this,
"then save me, you know.
Help heal me.
Because I don't want Michel
to be here by herself."
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
I'm sure there are people
that get this diagnosis
and just kind of shut down,
whereas it's kind of ignited
a fire in me
where I'm not gonna shut down.
Not only am I not
gonna shut down,
further, you know?
Push the envelope a little bit.
[WHOOPING]
Yes, I understand
