Abe’s Miracle Moment at Menards: A Journey of Strength and Hope

10/30/2024

Comments

 
You guys, I still can’t believe what happened today at Menards. It’s one of those moments that completely takes you by surprise and fills you with joy and gratitude. For those who may not know, Abe has been facing some incredible challenges with his health, and walking up a flight of stairs has been impossible for him since 2022. Last year, we even feared he might never walk again.

So, imagine the shock and overwhelming happiness we felt when, out of nowhere, Abe took off and started climbing a flight of stairs at Menards today! I’m sure anyone who happened to see me standing there filming, with tears in my eyes, probably thought I was a bit of a weirdo. But I couldn’t help it. This was a moment of pure triumph, and I wanted to capture it forever.

To see Abe—who has worked so hard through every challenge—walking up those steps was nothing short of miraculous. It was a moment of victory that felt like the world stood still, and we were simply overjoyed. We’ve been through so much, and to witness him achieving something we weren’t sure would ever happen again was beyond words.

Abe’s strength and determination have never ceased to amaze me, and today was a reminder of just how far he’s come. I couldn’t be prouder of him, and I will always treasure this moment of pure joy.
​
So yes, maybe I looked like a total weirdo, standing there crying and filming, but I don’t care. This is a victory for Abe, and for all of us. A reminder that no matter how impossible things may seem, miracles really do happen.

    About Me

    Erin is a green-haired, tattoo-covered mama powered by sarcasm, iced coffee, and the occasional emotional spiral.

    She’s raising an incredible son with a rare genetic condition, advocating with sharp knowledge and a softer heart — because both matter.

    She's trying not to lose her mind in a house that includes her husband, her son, her mother, a team of no less than five workers, and approximately 3,000 daily interruptions.

    She’s got a sixth sense for fake people, a deep love for horror movies, and a soft spot for anyone who’s ever felt like too much and not enough at the same time.

    Erin doesn’t pretend life is perfect. She shows up messy, honest, and real—whether she’s in advocacy mode, snack-fetching mode, or “why is everything a mess” mode.

    ​She’s built of grit, wit, compassion, and just enough rage to get things done.​
