As you think, so you are. As you dream, so you become. As you create your wishes, so they create you. –Wendy Garrett

A Dying Boy’s Last Wish:
Brenden was the kid who ran the fastest, climbed the highest and dreamed of becoming a marine photographer. Leukemia took away all those things, but not his wish to help others. “He’s always thought about others. Never complained about having to go through this, ever,” said his mother, Wendy Foster. When Brenden was first diagnosed with leukemia, he and his mom began a new tradition. Every night they list three positive things that happened during the day, and they have to share a laugh. A chuckle will do too.
The B-Man, as his family called him, had one more wish before going: sprinkle wildflower seeds to save the bees. He had heard bees were in trouble.
Someone answered B-Man's wish. A retired pilot asked his pilot and flight attendant friends to sprinkle wild flowers around the world, from Bali to Brazil, on Brenden's behalf.
When asked what made him sad, Brenden said, "When someone gives up."
Brenden Foster never gave up. Even as he clung to his last hours of life, Brenden kept giving.
"Follow your dreams. Don't let anything stop you," he said.

The double helix brought me here, a bit of synchronism that wasn’t by chance.
I’m going to have to absorb this for awhile and see where it takes us.
Deepest Bows,
