Hello all…On Friday, March 29, 2013, a courageous fighter of
brain cancer died. His name was Dalton James Andrew. He was 19 years old. He fought the battle
with brain cancer with his family by his side for two long years. On Good Friday, the Lord took his warrior
Dalton home. I got to meet Dalton at the
Miles for Hope Walk last year where he was the ambassador for the event.
The funeral was held April 5, 2013. I got the opportunity to be there and say a
few words about him. I did not have time
to write down what I was going to say before I went up there to say it. Wow was all I could think at first seeing his
mom and all the people who came to support him and say goodbye. Then I started to think about Dalton and what
he said to me last year and his attitude.
Then everything came to me all at once.
He was kind, exciting, and a burst of energy and encouragement. It felt like he was a new found role model
for me and everyone else that was there supporting him. From now on I want to be like Dalton because
he taught me to live every day to the fullest and never waste a breath.
