i dont even know how to explain it....
well.....once again i am reminded of how much i have to be thankful for, and what a blessing it is to just be alive..most people take something as simple, yet so complex as life...for granted...you really dont think of it until death hits you in the face..i cant even imagine....it sets things/priorities straight when you see someone with such a good heart looking death in the eyes....he doesnt deserve any of this...and its crazy how much God puts on someone...he's honestly the most kind hearted person i have ever met and its so scary that he has to go through this....to get this kind of sickness at such a young age...to begin your senior year knowing you have cancer...and THINKING you will make it...only to find out its getting worse...and still never go without smiling...i have NEVER seen him when he wasnt smiling...ever at the baseball banquet when he was telling his story...he was thanking God for giving him the life he had....THANKING GOD! idk it blows my mind how one can be so strong...knowing his life will shortly come to an end...ah so many thoughts....i dont even know what to say.....
Please keep Stephen Dandridge and his family in your thoughts and prayers....it's unatainable ....the whole situation is...all of my problems seem to be nothing in comparison to this and i feel selfish for complaining about anything i have going on in my life....they say everything happens for a reason...and i think Stephen's situation has taught alot of people something...and has lead alot of people to the realization that God works in mysterious ways.....wow...its indescribable...not that i was even that close to him...but just the fact that we worked together and went to school together...one day someone is perfectly fine...and then a short year later they are going home after hearing they have 2 weeks to live...i dont even know what i'd do with that kind of news...my brother went and saw him tonight...and he said he acted asif nothing was wrong...asif he was just a typical teenager...living the typical teenaged life...talking about football and college parties...hes STRONG..i respect him so much.....lots to think about....
