Encouraging Hope

"What we like to do is shift the paradigm from viewing dying as a failure to living well and 
dying well being the ultimate success life because death is a part of life." 
Soto Flouris
Jackquetta was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma- which a rare cancer linked to skeletal
muscle problem. She was diagnosed and told she would only live 2 or 3 more months. 
However, she died 9 days after she found out the news of her cancer. Once 
Jackquetta had died, her mother found a small journal. Inside was Jackquetta's Bucket List.
This idea came from the hospital Jackquetta spent most of her time. What was most
special about this article was that even though Jackquetta had passed away and could
not accomplish things on her Bucket List, her mother is completing each single thing. 
One thing that was written on the Bucket List that the Jackquetta's mother will carry out
is to see her grandchildren graduate from college since their mother passed away.
This was on Jackquetta's list; to have children and see them graduate from college.
Now I want to me selfless and do things for someone who has passed away and
accomplish something off of their list.
Jackquetta left behind 2 children. May she rest in peace.
