I think these pictures are some of the saddest I've seen... It's about a single mother and her son's struggle with neuroblastoma, cancer of the nerve cells.
Here is the full story. There are more pictures in the multimedia section.
I think finding out about this has made me realize that it's easy to take things (such as your health) for granted...but you never know when or if something is going to happen to you. If it does, it might be too late for you to enjoy your life to the fullest because you might only have a limited time to live by then..
It's easy to forget how valuable life is and even easier to get upset at small things, things that are probably of trivial importance to people who have or have had a major sickness. For example, I see people (myself included) complain about not getting a thing that we want, having a bad hair day, complaining about acne, having relationship problems, etc. Now looking at these after reading the story, I feel that we should just be thankful for what we have and never forget that as easily as we are able to go about doing our daily activities, there are people out there who can't.
So next time you're mad or upset about something, take a step back and realize what you already have is way more than some people can ever hope to have.
