The world has said 'goodbye' to two very special boys in the past week. It didn't seem right to let it pass without saying a few words about them, and how they touched our lives.
Through regular twitter updates we shared their journeys. From the highs of Jack's cheeky smiles, to the low of Harry's coma. Many of us felt like we actually got to know them both, despite never never either in person. Losing them was a big blow, so i can't begin to imagine how distraught their loved ones must be right now.
11 and 6 are no ages to be taken, but we must not dwell on what has been lost, rather focus on what we gained from them. The boys and their families have shown such strength, it never ceased to inspire others. If they can smile through the hard times then so can we!
They campaigned for awareness and raised money for charity. A cure may not be found this week, this year or even in the next 10 years, but it WILL happen. When it does, we can look back and say that they helped to achieve that.
It's too late for Jack and Harry but they have funded another step towards something that will make a difference to millions. How many of us can say that?!
They taught us to fight for what we want and to never give up, no matter how much easier it would be. They showed us that we should make the most of our time because it runs out all too soon.
So, if you have the opportunity to spend time with the ones you love, do it! If your children want to go to the park, read a book or play games, do it! Never turn down the chance to make memories.
Most of us cannot hope to make the impact that Jack and Harry did, but we can all do our part. The legacy they leave us is to live life to it's fullest and strive to be better people. Do as much as you can to help others and cherish those closest to you.
Jack,
Harry,
You were amazing! Thankyou.
(Continue their good work@harry_moseley and @Jack_Marshall_)
