SONG: American Beauty movie theme
(as always plug in and read, I hope you enjoy it)
There was this pressure in her chest. This feeling of wanting to cry. Sometimes victory feels so inferior. Less like overcoming an obstacle but finding out that the hurdle she’s been wanting to leap for years is actually just a stumbling block and all she had to do was take that first step towards it to realize that it was not as scary as it seemed to be. The apprehension of how much energy she put into something that was so easy to overcome made her feel naive and... stupid...- for wasting time and actually taking this challenge seriously while the world was busy laughing at her.
When she was little, she used to collect jam jars and whenever she would feel so happy that she couldn’t contain herself she would get a jar and silently scream inside it so that it would conserve her happiness and save it for when she really needed it. She collected these jars as if she knew that she would need them one day. On her 13th birthday she decided that these jars where childish so she gathered all of them and threw them away. Little did she know that she would need them years later, not because she actually believed in their magic but to be honest: she would do anything to just look at these jars and remember the good times she had...maybe open one and pretend that there was indeed magic inside them so that happiness would flow out of it and touch her the moment she opened them...and maybe it would actually work, maybe they were really magical...
BOOK REVIEW: "never ever give up" by Erik Rees
The cover says it all: "the inspiring story of Jessie and her JoyJars".
At age 11, Jessie Rees was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor that was also incurable. The cancer is called DIPG; diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Jessie was an active child. After being diagnosed and preparing to undergo radiation, Jessie asks her dad a question that will touch the lives of many pediatric cancer patients.
Upon hearing that many kids with cancer stay in the hospital for weeks at a time, or the duration of their treatment, Jessie turned to her dad and asked, "Dad, how can we help them?" Unsure of what she meant, her Dad asked her to explain. Jessie's answer made me cry. "They're going through a lot. What can we do for them?" Suffering from cancer herself, Jessie was concerned about other children. The rest of her short life would be lived with more concern for other suffering children.
Jessie started making goodie bags to pass out to the kids in the hospital. They contained Beanie Babies. She decorated the bags with stickers and markers, and wrote things like 'Get well soon', 'Don't stop believing' and 'Hope you're okay'. From these baggies came something much bigger. Named after Jessie's middle name, the JoyJars. Much bigger than the baggies, these plastic containers held items like kids crafts, party favors, bendable animals, rubber duckies, and other things that made the day of the children who received them.
Jessie's death brought about the Jessie Rees Foundation. A gala was scheduled, but Jessie passed away beforehand. The gala continued as scheduled, and it raised $100,000. Rent was paid on a warehouse, giving the JoyJars a space for storing supplies and assembling. At the time this book went to printing, 80,000 JoyJars have gone to pediatric cancer patients. Jessie's legacy continues.
While extremely sad, this book is also full of courage, love and faith. You'll need tissues, but it's worth it.
