If you could have anything you wanted, what would you wish for? That's the question that was presented to a group of complete strangers in Spain. They couldn't see each other, but they could hear what the other person was saying. At first, all the answers are typical: The participants want to achieve their career goals, travel more, or just be happy living the life they have. But when the people on the other side of the wall begin to respond, everything changes. I managed to hold it together for most of this video, but at 4:17, I couldn't stop myself from crying.
Anyone whose life has been changed by cancer knows that it affects the way you see the world around you. Whether you're battling it yourself or you have a loved one who's fighting it, it makes you realize that it's all the little things in life that matter most. Some people still hold on to their innocent dreams, such as this little boy who got his wish to be a basketball star, but many others only wish for a cure for this terrible disease.
What inspires me most about this video is that even though many of these people are hurting, they still find beauty in the small things in life. Just like this girl whose dog gave her a reason to live after surviving brain cancer, these brave young people and their families continue to find reasons to keep fighting even when times get tough.
I know I'd give up all my dreams if my loved ones affected by cancer could live their lives without ever having to worry about it again, and this video has shown me that I'm not alone. Don't forget to take a moment every day to remember what you've been blessed with. And please consider donating to a reputable cancer charity. Every penny brings us closer to helping so many people achieving their greatest wishes.
If you believe that everyone should appreciate the little things, SHARE this video with everyone you know!
