Sad things happen. They do. But we don't need to live sad forever.

God gives me hope that there is something greater than us, something better and bigger than the here and now, that can help us live.

I choose to live until death, not spend the time dying until death occurs.

I feel that God has given me a very special opportunity that I should not let go to waste. I use the gift he has given me.

I would not have lasted a minute, literally a minute, on this Earth without God and angels by my side, because I was born. And right as I was born, I went into a respiratory arrest. So, big things that keep me going are friends and family, God. And another thing is looking forward to what's going to happen tomorrow.

There can be many different views of what Heaven is like, because Heaven is whatever makes each person eternally and fully happy.

We always have to choose to live our lives to the fullest. No one is better or worse than anyone else. We are different and beautiful.
