Christopher Aiff was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in his leg. The doctors told him he was cured, but then found 50 tumors in his lungs on his first check up. Chris is an extraordinary 21 year old that shares wisdom we could all use.
Chris Aiff passed away in May 2014. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Thank you for sharing your incredible perspective with us, Chris. You will be missed.

I had a friend in my seventh grade class and she had only half of a heart and she was on a transplant list and she was about to get one and her condition went spiraling downward. She was put in oxygen and four days later she passed away. She was one of my best friends. One day she came up to me and she said, "Abby I hear the angels calling me." Within the next 30 minutes she passed away. I will never forget that the moment I heard that she passed away I was out in the garden, and a butterfly landed on my shoulder. I will always remember that day. My best friend.

@@Midnightmidway Who the HELL are you to make an outrageous assumption about a person I have known for over 50 years and you have never met?

Both my brother and I wouldn’t let her be around our respective children when they were younger because she was so vile to them. Not everyone is nice in the real world and just because someone gives birth doesn’t mean they become a wonderful, caring “mother”.

My little brother had some bad luck and tried to kill himself, it devastated us that he could do that. A year later he fell ill, cancer and they took stem cells to give him back but he was so scared of hospitals that he wouldn't fallow through. He left us on his own terms, I miss him. My little sister had been killed before that aged 20 so they are together safe from this world. Now its only me, no kids, no Partner, no one to miss me, it feels better that way.

Some ignorant People think before you die make the most of this life and do everything you want before you go, little do they know if they live their life other than the way God ordered them it will land them in eternal hell and severe punishment in the grave till the day of judgement and at the time of death the most scariest horrible looking foul scented angels will come to rip the soul out. It will be torture n torture. If anyone wants to read what happens when someone is dying and what happens in the grave and afterlife just ask me, I’ll give you proofs

My beautiful grandson, the son of my heart, was dx'd with a sarcoma in his left thigh which broke his femur and they took his leg. Then it spread to his lungs... he was 19. Nicholas passed away 2 weeks after his 21st birthday. I will never recover my heart. Blessing to this family and all families who live with love and loss and heartbreak. STRENGTH AND COURAGE

I write this comment from the bottom of my own personal lake of tears. I presume everything he says in this video is his own words? His quote at 8:51 is something I wish to live by and share for years to come

@RealMadrid4Life0107 10 лет назад

Omg I have no words to describe this. I'm speechless. Makes me appreciate what I have and makes me notice I worry about stupid things and there's people that are like this and just enjoy whatever they can. I think I just reflected...

The best My Last Days clip I've watched so far...everyone has been incredibly strong and admirable but this guy is a true inspiration. 😊

@JulsOnline1 12 лет назад

This truly shows us how we should live. I think a lot of people just walk trough the day even their whole lives without really living. But this is inspiring and reminds me that you should live every day to the fullest, just open your eyes and see, smell, hear, feel the beauty of life.

My best friend was murdered at Ohio State in 1974. She was so smart, so fun; to my knowledge campus police never found the killer...RIP Barbara McCarrick

@sandsoftime91 4 года назад

I looked her up. I just found one old article saying she died of “natural causes” But her death was “inconclusive”. so that sounds fishy to me.

@deniselancaster6888 6 лет назад

Oh, this video touches the depths of ones being. He fully embraced he was dying & yet stayed fully alive to the end doing as much as he could in the time he had left. 4yrs on l hope his family, especially his dearest sister finds comfort every day that he was a beautiful unselfish loving young man & still (through this video l have watched today) touches lives. Thank you.
