Just the fact of knowing no matter what you can always make a difference. How he took his challenges and turned it to something great. This should give kids the new way of looking at things. Thank God -
Wendy
What a beautiful video! Zach and his family are such beautiful souls. Oh, if we all would live life to its fullest. We should all say "I love you." to friends and family more often. We may not get that tomorrow to tell them then. Indeed it is true: "You don't have to find out you're dying to start living."

Zach was able to teach us the importance of living while we are in these bodies and the acceptance of our next journey. His ability to love and laugh inspired everyone he touched. -

The mothers understanding of the temporary nature of life offering her the opportunity to embrace every moment at the same time she is holding the tension of the devastating loss that is her reality. -
Wendy
This shows us what is possible when you let go of the perceived limitations on life. His beaming smile says it all. The love that surrounds him is beautiful to see. -

Aside from the amazing people he and his family were (are), I was struck when he said he was afraid of the unknown of death... I’m usually afraid when I don’t know what is coming up, but I don’t feel that way about dying... Time to reflect...

Zach seems a young man who enjoyed life. Death was only a vehicle for family and friends to express the love they had for him. At his age one does not think there is a need to express the love and appreciation because there is a lot of time to do that. Zach''s experience says otherwise. -

You are a wonderful family and have brought out all posible emotions within myself. I have shared his mum's tears as well as her joy for having this beautiful person as a son. Thank you so much for letting the world feel, learn and share with you -

What a gift Zach brought to his family, and now to me, by living with love, fearlessness, and kindness, despite (or possibly because of) the imminent presence of death. In many ways I wish a doctor would tell me, or rather remind me, that I have only so much time to live. Maybe then I would live life to its fullest each moment as well. -

What inspired me about this video was the fact it was about this amazing man named Zach Sobiech from to moment I read his story I was a fan I am a cancer survivor who ran across Zach's story while going through my own battle with anal cancer Zach Sobiech inspired me and I shall never forget him and I simply loved his hit song, Clouds and trust everytime now I see them, I think of you beautiful, Zach Sobiech -

That we always think that we have all the time in the world - just it isn't so -

Some people wait for an epiphany when they find out they have cancer, this kid had it figured out before. The angels on earth are the people who have figured it out. We are here to see the joy in others and as Zach said "make other people happy." Zach was an angel on earth. -

Kim
This video is a rare and beautiful gift to many, just as Zach was and is yet. My prayer is that everyone who sees this, can comprehend that this world is not our home. As sojourners together, we are called to bring light into the world - no matter the time we are given. In his short life - Zach brought more light, grace and goodness to us than many will ever recognize. RIP, Zach. -

That was such an inspiring video. He was definitely put on this earth to make a difference in people's lives.

Lauraine Newmark
I loved the fact that he never seemed to lose his lust for life, so inspiring! He truly seemed to live his life to it's fullest and that a main goal of his, of making others happy and to create smiles on their faces, was incredible and selfless! I wish I had the pleasure of knowing him! Maybe someday up in the clouds!! Thank you all for such a moving tribute, to his spirit of living and loving life and those around him! May he meet up with my dear brother Kurt, who shared a similar experience. -

Thank you, David from Australia, for reminding me of the 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 passage about love. I had it read at my wedding, the beginning of a shared life, but now I see that it also truly describes Zach Sobiech's journey through his last days. He was a young man who teaches us about grace through his living. His family and friends formed a perfect circle of caring around him; they all shared in his grace. -
Ana
Pure Love in the form a human being being. -
Becky
Zach's acceptance. His family's acceptance. How they all were open to what was happening, not denying the reality of his terminal condition. I wish it could have been more like this when my daughter died. -
Tristan
Geez, I mostly wish I were dead too. (I know all the usual responses.) Zach's a nice guy; accepting and living&Loving is the best way indeed. It's beautiful to experience kindness&compassion, which we all have the chance to share, and let that genuine spirit shine. Together we'll light up the Island of Dr Moreau. -
Dr. Purnima Gurung
Watching the video of Zach I remember Psalms 23. Zach's true faith in GOD that sometime we fail to have especially in the hour of the end that we face death. Zach is a super hero facing death the way I have ever seen before.He has given me courage and inspired me to go ahead in my life. Thank you Zach and thank you Sobiech family and friends.

Zach, you symbolise life and what is important, you show the path away from the trivial, selfish and the unimportant, you show utter selflessness at your toughest time, as do your family, your legacy burns brightly and if you did you go down, you surely did so fighting. Legend. -
Margo
Thank you and Peace. -
Louise
Forgetting what you are going through and making others happy. Listen to Zack, live every day to the fullest by bringing love, joy and happiness to each person you meet. -
Cindy
RIP, Zach. Your beautiful soul is lighting the way for the rest of us. Thank you. -
David (Australia)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
Perfectly displayed in this beautiful loving young man

I too, not as a teenager but as a senior two years ago at the age of 86 felt that my wife and I were invincible. Hearing about death of someone close to us gave a short- lived glimpse of death making us feel sad and grieve. Both of us, and especially I,got awakened about two years ago when we came to know that she had a very aggressive breast cancer. When the breast surgeon told us the bad and sad news that she may survive only for a year, the landscape of my life, our family life,radically changed. Everyday we spent together became a gift of God, a blessing, with some rays of hope and anguish.It was a great lesson for me to learn that everyday is a God's day, a good day. I was also taken by surprise watching my wife accepting her terminal illness with serenity and calmness. I saw her getting detached to the things that were very important to her without struggle yet loving us unconditionally until she breathed her last.We did not push her to do anything that would not feel right to her. We let her live fully. It was hard for me and my family to let her walk her path. We needed to let go of our attachment to her, or grasping of her hand. We needed to accept her and love her unconditionally as she did.When she passed away, she held everyone's hand around her and asked is everyone OK?
I have come to realize the truth experientially which I had known intellectually that we all are here to pass away someday and we all need to learn how to live well to die well. Living and dying are intertwined like in-breath and out-breath or like the two banks of the river. I have been learning and practicing this way of living truly, mindfully and fully feeling the undying presence of the unconditional love of my soul mate.
Stories like this are a mirror for me to see the face of living and dying.
With gratitude,
Jagdish P Dave -

The power of love and joy to transform the world. Zach was a light and beacon for his family, his friends and all of us who watch this film. What an amazing young man!

Real people in real life situations and the courage off all to record their experiences for us witnesses to take in the fullness of their lives, even to the end. -
Kristin Pedemonti
Zach's Spirit is Beautiful & his message is simple, but POWERFUL: Make Someone Happy. Indeed, no matter what our circumstances, take a moment and bring a bit of happiness. Love & Hugs to his family and friends who must miss his presence.
- Page 1
- Listen to Zach's song, Clouds, available on iTunes (proceeds benefit the Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Research Fund).
- Zach's love and tranquility were the emotional supports for his family and friends; but usually the surviving are called on to comfort the dying. Understand how best to help when you are called upon.
- Zach told us, "It's really simple: just try to make people happy." Go make someone happy. Right now.
