Remember, You're the Greatest

How One Special Needs Boy Taught His Father About Love, God, and Everything Else

By: Johnny Bollow

Narrated by: Johnny Bollow

He finally found a cure for his son’s epilepsy - but is he too late?

After three long years, Johnny’s young son, Sam, experiences a breakthrough. But even as calm comes to Sam's body, the illness makes off with his mind. Violent outbursts, strange obsessions - what has happened to his sweet boy? As these new convulsions threaten to tear his family apart, Johnny is haunted by his late father’s constant benediction: “Remember, as you go through life, you’re the greatest.” But how can someone so broken be great? Cinematically weaving three generations of fatherhood, Remember, You’re the Greatest is a memoir of hard questions. Of unexpected joy in the ache of mystery. And the power of a special needs child to teach a father what greatness truly looks like.
