Since relocating to Oakhurst we have had little moments where God has shown himself to us as a family. We are regularly comforted by the amazing heart in this town. We know that this is right where we need to be to raise our boys. Many of you know about the young man up here battling a very aggressive form of cancer. Danny continues to amaze us everyday with his unbelievable spirit. This was posted on his care page today and I wanted to share our amazing town with you. Please keep praying for Danny and his family......
This afternoon, our Mountain Area Pop Warner Football teams will have a home game at Yosemite High School. As the boys come on to the field, they will run through banners that say, 'Danny Z Says Bite Me Cancer' and there will be a moment of silence as people pray for Danny and his family. In each of the programs there will be an insert saying the following:
'Danny Zabicki is a 17 year old who has been fighting a rare form of cancer, Rhabdomyosarcoma. He has handled the last year and a half of
treatment with more grace and dignity than you could imagine and has
inspired us with his 'bite me cancer' attitude. We have learned
lessons in living large and making the most of each day while
watching him endure torturous treatments, then bouncing back to plan
a party or go out with his friends and family - choosing to feel
well. 'I'll be fine,' has been his common refrain, simply because he
chooses to be fine.
Over the last few weeks, his body has failed him, but his spirit has
not. His courage, humor, kindheartedness and spunk are still there -
still teaching us. His family thanks you for the love and support
this community has shown them through this most difficult journey.
Your continued prayers are appreciated.'
The Badger football program describes itself with words like 'Integrity, Strength, Resolve.' I think Danny embodies those principles better than anyone I know!
