This boy is remarkable. Please watch these two videos, they are incredibly profound. His smile will forever remain etched in my mind and heart.

THANKS!! I saw part of this on the news yesterday and wanted to look it up on YT but didn't know how to word the search. I wanted to see the whole thing..

I thought I would bawl through the whole thing but somehow, I found peace in his words, what he saw and felt. He had to be amazing to know personally!

I did cry, but not without smiling through my tears. :)

He died december 25th of cardiac arrest. I did a quick search on google & I found it on wiki. There is a page on him there.

Wow. And did anyone else notice the white fluff wagging to the left of the screen (his right) toward the end of the second video? :(
Amazing guy.

Ya know what makes people like this so special? They know they don't have as much time as they should, but they make the most of it anyway.

I saw this on the news too. He had a whole Youtube channel dedicated to helping teens throughout high school with dating advice and all that.

Great kid, great smile. I am so happy he was able to make that video. He seems like a really good kid. It's such a tragic thing though, that he had that specific condition. I was born with a heart condition, but I am so lucky mine was correctable. So many kids are not so lucky, some even with my specific condition die from it because they find it to late. His legacy will never fade.
