For those of you who are my "friend" on Facebook, you may have already seen this video which I posted on Sunday. For the rest of you, I wanted to share with you a video of one of the most amazing young men I have ever known.
We first met "Chris" when daughter #2 entered Kindergarten. He was an adorable little boy, one of a great group of kids in that class. Many of them stayed with "A" as they rose through the grades of the school and then graduated from Eighth Grade.
"A" kept in close touch with several of those classmates, as many headed off to separate high schools. She invited Chris to be her date to her first Semi-Prom, at her all girl high school. I wish I could find a photo from that night - they looked so cute (and nervous!).
They've maintained their friendship over the years, made easier with all the wonderful technology we have today. Our family has often held Chris in our thoughts and prayers as he has so bravely dealt with more than any one human being should have to withstand. His incredible faith, and that of his family, is something to behold.
Chris would like to share his message of hope, faith and courage with as many people as he can. Won't you take a moment to watch his video? Please "share" it in any way you can - either through your expansive, or limited, knowledge of technology or simply by word of mouth. Just tell your friends to go on "YouTube" and type in "Thank you letter to my family and friends!" and look for Chris.
Let's show him that his courage in putting himself out there is not in vain. Let's "share" him in the hope that knowing he is actually making a difference will give him the strength he needs to keep on fighting.
Simply click on "Thank you letter..." and it will take you to his message. Every "view" is tabulated - wouldn't it be wonderful for him to see that number grow?
And while you're at it - please say a prayer for Chris. Let's face it, you can never have enough prayers....
