[Ragtime Cowgirl]

As the parent of a "non-cognitive, vegetative state" 16-year-old, who was, by all medical experts, not destined to live more than six months, I offer advice. Seize the opportunity to honor life, in all its forms.

This essay was beautiful.

Matthew taught me the real worth of life cannot be measured, quantified or predicted in advance. He needed help from a lot of people to live a modest life, but the time, energy and sacrifice freely given by so many perfect strangers on his behalf, he repaid it all ten times over with an astonishing capacity for love that flowed freely from his wounds.

This one was awesome.

Thank you, William.
