MICHAELA: 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 15 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.
It's not just about you.
This family needs something to celebrate.
Okay, that's a pretty backwards reason for a wedding, but...
STEVE: How's this for a reason?
Jared loves you.
And I know you love him.
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 Beth, even people that have made mistakes
deserve happiness.
[SCOFFS]
You know my favorite verse...
"All things work together for good."
I don't believe that anymore, Mom. How can I?
Which is why, when I got the chance to stay away from home
for even a few more hours, I jumped at it.
WOMAN: All passengers for Flight 537 to New York,
John F. Kennedy Airport, your attention, please.
This flight is oversold.
We are offering travel vouchers in the amount of $400
for anyone willing to take a later flight.
Yes. That's me.
- No. - It's $400 per person.
That's our next trip down to the Mayo Clinic.
I'll stay with Dad.
There you go. Man time.
BEN: All right. All right.
So Grace and Olive and my folks
took the first flight home
while Ben and Cal and I waited for Flight 828.
