Sometimes we capture a story in the news that touches our hearts that leads us to reflect on our own lives and perspectives. Unfortunatly, as fast as Lindsay Lohan is back to rehab, we forget these stories and move on to the next empty shell story. Well I didn't forget about Ben Breedlove, the 18 year old teenager that died last year due to a lostbattle with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a condition where the heart is too weak to pump blood.
Ben created a YouTube channels where played a role similar to a Dr Phil. He spoke to his peers about relationships, love, and life. On December 18, 2011, he uploaded a 2 part video where he explains with the use of note cards his disease, near death experiences, and his thoughts on dying. He died 7 days later on December 25, 2011.
No matter what you are doing right now... No matter where you are in the world...No matter what religion you beleive in...Please take your time to watch part 1 and 2 of the Ben's videos. You will get goosebumps. We spend our days complaining about loved ones, money, kids, traffic, gaining weight, etc but sometimes its good to see what real problems are.
It is eerie watching it and knowing that he has passed but trust me it is worth watching...
PART 1
Everytime he smiles, I got chills...so positive while facing death.
PART 2
His sister was very moving at his funeral..
