I havent seen it on here yet but I may have missed it, really recommend everyone takes 20 minutes to watch this. It may change how you view the world and your life. And I usually hate shit like this but I caught myself tearing up a few times.

i lost many times

and by lost, i mean lost my composure and shed a tear. there was something about his little sister in the basketball jersey getting choked up that choked me up. like you're taking something away from that sweet innocent girl and it's totally unfair. i have a little sister like that too who is so much like me and we really get along, so maybe i started to really picture that as my family. and the fact that they're two boys and two girls just like mine. makes you really put things into perspective. it could easily be me and my family going through that.

but a nice watch. woooosh. what a tear jerker..

Kid is such an inspiration. Amazing how he can look at death from such a light hearted angle. Wish I could have met him. He passed away on the 20th of this month just in case nobody heard.

As someone who is currently struggling with cancer I found a lot of parallels with his story. I am amazed with how positive and happy he was with everything. I know for a fact that feeling and knowing you are loved is the most important thing when dealing with a life threatening illness. I'm glad he had a lot of that

When watching that I didn't feel as sad as I thought I would due to the fact that he was so open-minded and decided to focus on living the rest of his days to the fullest with a big ass smile on his face. What an inspiration.

Thats the same way I felt too....since he was living what remained of his life left to the fullest it made me smile......now the little sister that brought some tears.
