For our senior picture, they said, 'Black or navy blazer.' And I thought, Why do I want to look like everybody else?

When I was diagnosed with cancer, like so many other people, my life changed forever.
I've already had two stem cell transplants. Very rarely does somebody have a third, so I have to maintain my strength so I can go through this.
Whatever I might have imagined a terminal diagnosis would do to my spirit, it summoned quite the opposite - the greatest appreciation for life itself. So I will never give up, and I will never give in.
I grew up in Batavia, Ill., a small town out in the corn fields, west of Chicago. It was boring.
I will live my life full of love and full of fun. It's the only way I know how.
Ya gotta think positive.
I can't bring out something I've already worn. I want to make sure I don't look down. I want people to say, 'Man, he looks good'.
A dramatic turn has matched me with acute myeloid leukemia. From the sidelines to being sidelined, 40 veins and 40 electrolytes.
I will continue to keep fighting sucking the marrow out of life as life sucks the marrow out of me.
Time is something that cannot be bought; it cannot be wagered with God, and it is not in endless supply, Time is simply how you live your life.
