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.

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!

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.

His story is truly inspiring and a model for anyone to live by. The good die young.

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.
