I'm a 14 year who has brain cancer and is going to die within 3 weeks AMA

I am in absolute awe of you; I have suffered for years with crippling headaches 24/7 so I understand some of the pain you’re feeling, and at this point I would give anything to swap places with you since I’m too cowardly to end things but I don’t want to keep on living like this.

You have faced death with more courage than anyone else I’ve met, and it’s clear to me that you have accomplished everything here that you were meant to do. I’m sure there’s a lot you still wanted to do, but I honestly believe that being an inspiration to those around you - to face death without fear - is the greatest thing you could have ever done and I’m so immensely glad to have read some of what you’ve said here today.

I don’t want to get religious or philosophical and start telling you what I think happens after death, but it’s obvious that despite your brief time with us, you carry a tremendous power and grace with you and I just know that whatever happens after you die, you will go forward and take your greatness with you, and touch the essence of whoever you go on to meet after you leave this planet.

There’s no reason to think that we just blink in and out of existence and that’s that, if it happened once then why shouldn’t it continue to happen after you die? Wherever you go next, I only hope I’m lucky enough to meet you in person there. You have my greatest respect and adoration.
