[Above and below:] Whether it’s a sleepover in the church gym or football practice with our hero, Coach Jim Tressel, it takes many volunteers, many vehicles, and many hours to get Alex anywhere—but he’s unquestionably worth it.

Alex getting fitted for his wheelchair, which he could operate himself by moving his chin.

Making history

In 2009, Alex made international news as the first child ever to undergo the surgery made famous by actor Christopher Reeve.

Straight ahead

For Beth and me, our kids—Aaron, Alex, Gracie, and Ryan—are the joy of our life. Maybe this isn’t your traditional family photo, but it’s full of happiness and love. Please don’t feel bad for us . . . because we don’t.

Notes

Kevin: “I have no memory of being in Heaven, but Alex is emphatic that this is what happened.”
