Incredibly inspiring and hopeful. Brian and Sandra are testiment of the human spirit soaring above the challenges of ALS, to bring comfort and hope to families like them. They are unrelenting and determined. The kind of people you want in your corner when the chips are down. A must watch.

The first three episodes sets the table for how it all started. The history lesson on slave trade and Brexit is a reflection of C. Wight Mills' Sociological Imagination which essentially gets one to understand how "our social world that far surpasses any common sense notion we might derive from our limited social experiences. Mills was a contemporary sociologist who brought tremendous insight into the daily lives of society’s members. Mills stated: “Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both”[1]. The sociological imagination is making the connection between personal challenges and larger social issues. Mills identified “troubles” (personal challenges) and “issues” (larger social challenges), also known as biography, and history, respectively. Mills’ sociological imagination allows individuals to see the relationships between events in their personal lives (biography), and events in their society (history). In other words, this mindset provides the ability for individuals to realize the relationship between their personal experiences and the larger society in which they live their lives."
