“Zachary! Hit the damn ball!!” Coach yelled. We were playing baseball and I just couldn't hit the ball. Normally I'm good at it but that day I couldn't do it. It wasn't nerves or anything like that. It was the fact that I was in a lot of pain. My ribs and stomach were killing me. I couldn't breathe on some parts of the day but I just thought it was one of my many illnesses.

My mom burst into tears so I knew it was something bad then my dad came in and sat down, taking my hand in his.
“Son, the doctors... they... Zachary... you don't have long to live...” He said. I remember it perfectly. He looked heartbroken. I just licked my lips.
“How long, Dad?” I asked. I was calm as anything. I wasn't surprised.
“Two years, son,” He whispered. “You have two years to live,”
