I found this on deadspin.com, and they pulled it from the Pittsburgh Gazette. This kid, Jason Challis, is dying of terminal cancer. He managed to pull off one of his last wishes, to actually bat at game for his high school...and he miraculously cracked a single and even ran to first despite a cancer ridden pelvis. I highly recommend reading the story- this kid is inspirational and I dare you to try and read it with a dry eye. It's people like him that remind us how lucky we all are....things can always be worse. I've had to remind myself of this plenty, and find it to be a good 'come to your senses' thought whenever I am feeling sorry for myself.
Jason's message: it's not about how many breaths you have in your life, it's about what you do with those breaths.
Amen, brother.
