-LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST-
All in all the main reason i made this was to dedicate my towns hero. Jeff Jackson, an amputee from my city who died just over a month ago.
About hmm..a month ago, a bunch of my friends after school would go to the local convenience store and buy stuff and just chill for an hour or two. That day 5 of us went there after school. Molly, Megan, Clare & Tom and me. The girls went into the store 'Needs Convenience' while Tom & I stood outside and waited for them Patiently. While waiting, Jeff, the man in the electric wheelchair that was everywhere and well known in the rather larger city, came rolling over to Tom and I. He said How you boy's doing we then later got into deep conversation and the girls were eventually out of the store...they ran into another friend and they were talking.
Tom and i continued our conversation with Jeff. When he asked Tom how his life was 'rolling' Tom replied with a grin and said Shitty. Jeff said Son, you must LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST, And embrace each moment like it's your last day. Don't worry about your problems every minute of the day, love your life the glorious God gave you, and live it well He said softly with a big smile.
I looked over at him and said You have wise words and laughed. I also added You have the power to inspire many people! I laughed again. Before then the girls wanted to go Molly's and we had to tag along. We said good-bye to Jeff and watched him wheel away in his wheelchair.
Two Days later my dad woke me up on the last day of the school to get ready for the bus. He was drinking his coffee and had a bagel in hand. While Reading the newspaper and gasped the gasp you rarely hear from the man. I asked What's up. My dad sadly replied The wheelchair man, you see him everywhere, Mr.Jackson. He died this morning from a heart Failure. I felt a cold shiver run up my spine and tears dwell to my eyes..
So please, feature, favorite, playlist, tell people about it. I don't want the subs or popularity.. I want Jeff's Message READ CLEAR. And i want atleast 1000 views so i know, 1000 people know to live their life to the fullest :) even if it takes 5 years to get 1000 views. I'll be waiting, and so will Jeff.
