This is a MUST read for anyone going thru something that they truly feel is horrible~I mean what could be worse than knowing that you are going to die, you have 3 young children and a beautiful wife, an amazing job doing something you love...never knowing when all of this will come to an end.
You read about how he is going thru everyday and if it were his last.
This man doesn't take anything for granted...he lives each day to the fullest.....He is truly leaving a lasting legacy for his children.

When things go bad in my life I think about him! OMG~if I could only have 1/4 of the determination this man has. He is very inspiring! The whole story is enough to make a person realize "Just Get Over It" ...No one is guarenteed a single day let alone the next breath you take!
I am going to include the link to his web site...take a few minutes to check it out. There is a link on there to the address that he made to the 2008 graduates of the school where he tought. Take the few minutes and listen to this! I found it to be very inspiring!
Enjoy~
