Great post...sad story. A great reminder to really be grateful for all that is good in your life.
I think the young man's words below say it best,
"Why can't people just see the best in things? It gets you so much further in life. It's always negative this and negative that. That's all you see and hear."

Thumbs up, MyLane. The young man said it best. Now if only we would really listen. Kudos to him for continuing to stay on the positive side despite the prognosis.

Would it be as heart warming if he had struck out?
