There's two videos on the page. Make it a point to watch the second, longer one. This 18 year old boy had courage and wisdom and grace beyond his few years.

No one is promised a tomorrow. I am thankful that I do know what comes after this life and that death is not the end but rather the beginning.
Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.

I watched this yesterday and cried, and cried...he died on my son's 17th birthday. But I will say, the courage he and his parents showed...WOW!

Re: A Tale of Courage and Grace
I had exactly the same emotional reaction. I showed it to my wife last night, and she did too. Honestly, his example helped to remind this old man of some things he was in danger of forgetting.SewTexas wrote:I watched this yesterday and cried, and cried...he died on my son's 17th birthday.

Re: A Tale of Courage and Grace
What a moving video. I think it would be impossible to watch and not be overwhelmed by emotion. It really made me think about my family and how blessed I have been to have them. It also brought some of the minor inconveniences of life / family / health into focus and made me realize how inconsequential those MINOR inconveniences really are.
