Christine came to school when she could with her IV in her arm, her mostly bald head and a huge smile. She sat behind me and played kickball with enthusiam. I think about her so often,the strength she displayed,as a child I just knew she was pretty special, as an adult I am in awe of her grac. She was fighting leukemia and eventually lost her battle. My sister too faced leukemia in her twenties, thankfully through medical advances she survived. So many times I have wanted to reach out to her parents, but I never even knew their first names. Honestly, Christine is the first person I saw show incredible strength and grace in horrific circumstances and her spirit is my strength whenever I faced difficulties...So please know somewhere someone will always remember Jack!

And that, when we bemoan that we're "only affecting one person" just how big the impact IS to that one person, and how it ripples out. It's not about the one or two big things we do, it's the million little things that add up. It's also a clear reminder that Jack's life, while relatively short, will ripple out in many ways; he won't ever be lost while people remember him.

Such a beautiful story. You really don't...WOW! Such a beautiful story. You really don't know how much of an impact someone has on your life. I'm so thankful for the people who have influence me in positive ways. I had a friend in high school who's dad helped me through a really tough time when my brother was sick. He listened & he explained things. I was allowed to talk about cancer in their house. When I think about how I got through high school, he & his family are one of the main reasons. I will tell you that Jack will always be on people's minds. I lost a friend in high school. She was killed by a drunk driver & it was horrible. I had never lost a friend at such a young age. My daughter has her name as her middle name. I have kept in touch with her mom through the years. I sent her mom a note not too long ago when I had been thinking of Jen. I told her memories that I had in my heart all these years later that still make me smile. I wanted her to know that I still remember! Even if they aren't talking about Jack, they are thinking about Jack.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277238426733977275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-56405240001779490542016-02-01T15:10:09.543-08:002016-02-01T15:10:09.543-08:00When I was 13 a friend I'd known all my life d...When I was 13 a friend I'd known all my life died; he was 16 at the time. I spent a long time feeling numb, pondering God, and so many feelings typical of grieving. And then I thought of the time when I was 6 and Steve taught me how to waterski. He was determined that I should learn, even after most of my family had given up and told me I should wait a year. Steve just kept swimming out to me whenever I fell to help me get up until I really learned to do it on my own. I have taught many people how to waterski, including my eldest son. He has taught at least 20 people how to waterski. I have shared with him my thought that Steve continues to live in each and every person we teach, whether they know it or not. Steve will not be forgotten, and neither will Jack.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069502218392868014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-25231318220765685032016-02-01T12:52:15.794-08:002016-02-01T12:52:15.794-08:00What a wonderful story.
