But God! In 2015, I was diagnosed with ALS and given two years to live. That moment felt like the end of everything I had dreamed for my family. I thought I’d never see my kids graduate high school, let alone college. I imagined missing weddings, never walking my daughters down the aisle, never welcoming sons- or daughters-in-love into our family. And the idea of spoiling grandchildren? That joy felt permanently out of reach. But then—God. God didn’t just extend my time. He expanded my purpose. Day by day, breath by breath, I kept going. Not with grand plans, but with small steps. I celebrated each sunrise. I laughed through the hard days. I leaned on faith when fear tried to take over. And slowly, the impossible started happening. All but one of my children have now graduated both high school and college. That final milestone is just a year away. I’ve welcomed two beautiful souls into our family—daughters-in-love who bring joy and light. And just yesterday, when my heart was heavy thinking about my aging parents, God whispered hope again. I’m going to be a granddaddy. This journey hasn’t been easy. But it’s been amazing. And if you’re reading this while facing your own diagnosis, wondering if there’s anything left to hope for—let me tell you: there is. Hope lives in the ordinary. In the next meal. The next laugh. The next hug. The next day. Take life one day at a time. That’s where miracles happen. —Kerry Goode ALS may have a timeline, but God writes the story. And my story is still unfolding.
