I have a new hero. Look at this story.

I am 41 years old and after just reading this story, I cannot stop crying. I think my new hero is an 18 year old kid.

Wow.

That's pretty much all I can come up with at this point.

 

A lot of lessons to be learned from that young man.
Keep fighting the good fight and do it with a smile.

 

I also have a new hero.

This thread is making things a bit dusty all up in here.

 

That boy makes anyone want to be a better man or woman.

What courage he shows. I'm glad his hit was a solid liner.

"I did it! I did it!"

And he got an RBI, too.

Don't just watch the videos. Make sure you read the story.

Excellent story, by the way.

 

"If I'm mad at anything in this, it's that I'm not going to be able to have a son, I'm not going to be able to get married and have my own house," he said, fighting back tears again. "Those are the things I'm mad about. But not dying."

Wow.

Excellent story. And you can see his spirit in that video. What an amazing kid.

 

Where is the story. I could only find the video.

Kinda puts things in perspective a little bit. Amazing.

 

Hey, rookie. You were good.

 

That's not fair man.

 

That story was good. Those videos were better

 

First post, though it doesn't appear as a link like the videos did.

Man, that video is pretty tough at the end. A lot of tears.
