Right after high school, I dream.
I ran and was so happy, but somehow.
I only know that I must immediately go to the car.
Getting out of the car is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen...
Followed by the sweetest girl ever.
Then it happens...
The embrace is not what I had received before.
Who is this little girl?
Who is this beautiful woman?
And me?
I woke up and wondered what was the meaning of it all.
10 years passed and now I live that dream...
But one thing that dreams don't prepare for me,
That is how this sweet girl is so troublesome.
Children, have used seat belts?
All right, baby, Mom is back soon.
What are you doing?
You can't drive.
You don't know how to...
You don't have to wait 16 years to drive!
Look at the world! Kennedy comes.
Stop the car now!
Please! / I'm smart!
No!
Children!
Children?
Gosh.
Kennedy!
What happened?
I'm smart. / He's not smart!
He is not very smart!
Do you run the car?
How can it be?
Never do that again!
What's wrong with you? / Lots!
Yes, Kennedy knows what he wants...
... and set goals since I was a child.
Kennedy.
Cheerleaders.
Sorry. / It's fine.
Dating.
"I want if you've been 16 years, we can go on a date."
"I love you, Brett."
"Greetings dear, Kennedy."
Brett!
Run! Do not look Back!
And another dream is to drive.
He likes it when I invite him the road with my truck.
No.
Father.
Sports are an important part of Kennedy's life.
They seem to give him a way to respect the feelings of others.
Good work! A good kick.
That's right, chase the ball!
There are children from other teams who play rough.
He knows all the tricks that should be played.
Come on, referee! You have to pay attention to that!
No, take care of him!
Retreat! Take care of the goal.
Come on, referee! It's a violation!
Don't you see that ?!
Good work, good work.
Kennedy here.
You can't let the child,
You have to face it. Be aggressive.
That's how we deal with the abusers.
But Dad...
Why not just love him?
I think we're parents of mixing Gandhi and Mother Teresa.
Finally, one of our players...
... dealing with children hard and dropping it.
Good work.
What does he do?
I think Kennedy will emit his emotions.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Good Gandhi!
Deedee!
OK, kids, do your best!
Nine Years Later
Are you okay? / Yes.
Can you keep playing? / Yes.
Good, go.
Good work.
Good work, children.
Pursue the ball!
Hello.
I immediately go there.
Hi.
Are you okay?
What happened?
I'm just careless.
You're not careless.
I'm sorry.
That's just bruises and blisters.
It will recover quickly. / Well, good. Sorry.
It's okay.
But there are more you need to know.
Mr. and Mrs. Hansen,
Did Kennedy ever fight in school?
No.
Sorry, but I have to ask...
Have any of you ever hit Kennedy?
Are you serious?
Of course we won't ever hit it.
What happened?
The description of his eyes Kennedy shows trauma...
Trauma like that I never saw...
... aside from being hit blows on the head.
He has fallen, but not so hard.
I say it goes out, it's not us.
What does this mean?
What I know is serious and is more than my training.
I will send you to the Center for Eye Care in Salt Lake.
You also have to know,
Decreased Kennedy vision will be very heavy and fast.
Something is wrong with me, right?
You're perfect, honey.
We only have to check what is happening with your eyes.
It's okay.
Jesus will treat my eyes when I go to Heaven.
Such words don't surprise us with Kennedy.
He has spiritual experience from a young age.
His mother Heather died when Heather was 15 years old.
We got rocking chairs where Heather was put to bed when she was a child.
And he put Kennedy to sleep with the same chair.
The seat is old now, creaking and noisy.
I want to buy a new one, but Heather doesn't want to listen.
Every night, the sound of the chair will be heard,
Creak and play the music...
... as little princesses we fall asleep.
One night, I can't sleep.
Heather, when you put Kennedy in a rocking chair,
I get a strong impression if your mother is here...
That makes me wonder...
I didn't put Kennedy to sleep...
I thought you were sleeping him in a rocking chair.
Strange.
I will go to the park then you can bring the kids home,
Then I go shopping,
I will buy everything we need before tonight.
Is that good? Okay. / No problem.
Hey, you!
Good morning, are you sleeping well?
Do you know why?
Grandma Mona came and put me to sleep overnight.
Who sleeps you?
You know, Mother.
The rocking chair is then becomes very important.
It becomes sacred.
As long as he is a child,
Kennedy will tell us if he sees,
Lulled or visited by Grandma Mona.
Yes, it will be very good.
Hansen's family?
Next here.
We spent a lot of time coming to every specialist in Wasatch Front,
Then then...
What disease?
Batten's disease.
Only a few thousand cases are known from Batten's disease in the world.
That is the interference that holds the cell...
... from cleaning residual waste in the body.
As the fat and protein are formed,
Cells can no longer function properly .
Okay, what do we do?
The sufferer will not only lose his vision,
They also lose mental capacity...
... and seizures become routine.
There is no cure.
I don't know others better.
I don't know other people who get more happiness...
Right now?
We will fight it...
There is no way I will let this happen to my daughter.
When my mother died, I...
I don't know...
Maybe part of the plan.
Part of the plan.
I want to see a copy of the from the plan.
Deedee,
Do you understand what we told you?
What do doctors say?
Are you sure?
Father,
Can we go for a walk?
Now?
Hurray, Dad!
Hurray!
Hurray for us!
Father?
How long until I die?
Dad doesn't know, Deedee.
Daddy hopes you live up to 80 years.
But no matter how long, we will make it interesting.
Where do you want to go?
Looking for a drink!
We can do that.
Hey! Kennedy!
Kennedy stop the car! Stop the car!
No, sir! Get out, sister!
Get away.
I'm driving! / What are you thinking ?!
I get Daddy! / You can barely see!
You're a bad girl!
But you're a crazy woman sweet.
As we know, Kennedy is the only person in Utah with Batten Disease.
But through the Network National Batten,
We found other families in Utah...
... who also have children with the same disease.
His name is Charlee.
When we open the door,
Our feelings that enter the house are inexplicable.
At present, Charlee is fully can't see.
Charlee doesn't even speak for a little more than 2 months.
Hi
Hi.
I'm Kennedy.
We are the same.
See how sweet it is. / I know.
This song is about us.
We have been born like Old Nephi...
To good parents who love God...
We know His plan and we will get ready...
Let those who are worthy, go and share...
We are Helaman warriors...
We have been taught in our youth...
And we will be God's missionaries...
To bring the world His truth...
When it's time to separate,
Kennedy wrote to brought Charlee with him.
Charlee, you're very special,
And I feel your heart.
We will be good friends,
On Earth and in Heaven.
Greetings dear, Kennedy.
See you soon! / See you!
Once again thank you! / See you later, Charlee!
A wonderful family. / I like them.
See you later.
Hey, Deedee.
Father and Mother have something for you.
Stick?
No, it's not a stick.
Golf clubs?
I think he is playing with us.
Dad knows that. I know that!
You are a bad boy!
You really like weird.
Although Kennedy's health continues to decline,
He is so excited about the next step in his life.
high school!
I, cheerleading match!
Beau!
Do you enter the ball?
Yes.
Come on Wolves!
Although Kennedy was so with school and dancing,
He doesn't want to go to parties any dance.
Anna often invites her, but she doesn't want to go.
But always at night one of the dance shows,
Kennedy will wait Anna patiently...
Right next to the door.
Time to sleep!
Why haven't you slept?
Still waiting?
He won't be long anymore.
Let's go to your bed.
See you, friends. Thank you for the ride!
Dah, Anna! / See you later, Anna!
Boys! Tell me about boys!
Come on!
First I dance with Eldon.
I know, and Ryan continues looking at us.
Is he handsome? / Very-very handsome.
Hey!
Don't talk about boys...
Without Mother!
Swipe, swipe.
Ma'am, you won't think what happened.
I danced with Eldon.
Very handsome! / She's handsome.
Handsome Eldon. / He is very handsome.
Pain.
What? / Who cares!
Men!
Mother!
The monster!
Honey, Mother is here, it's fine.
Kennedy. Calm down...
Mother here. We are here.
Today I think about time when class 2,
When he was the only child who was not invited to a birthday party...
Other children will definitely be very upset,
But not with it.
No Deedee.
Then a month later, remember?
At his birthday,
He makes sure we invite children who forget him.
He is unusual, Jase.
He is not an ordinary child.
Always think of others and set aside himself.
Maybe that's why we need a long time...
... to know what wrong with him.
He just keeps hiding everything. Go to school...
Saying that is possible just catch a cold.
But it's not.
That's much worse.
Hi, Deedee.
Honey.
Is this something you want to do?
To get a SIM?
Honey, you know you're very want to be able to drive,
But there are some things that we have to think about again.
I'm fine.
That's right, and...
We will find something else that you can do.
One day, Father in Heaven will treat my eyes.
I don't know what else to do.
I will stay with him tonight.
I beg you...
Give Kennedy the same chance this year...
... like other children.
Help him to feel normal.
I request that he be blessed.
I will return.
Father! / Hey, are you having fun?
Yes. Where is Kennedy?
Daddy will look for it.
Deedee.
Come with your father and we will dance together.
Yes, it will be fun.
I'm not biased. / Yes, you can.
Deedee, you are a reliable dancer.
There are boys out there.
No.
There is no boy who wants to dance with me.
Of course they want. No.
Bishop ./ Hi, Jason.
Hey, where's Kennedy?
He is in the kitchen...
He can accept the disease,
But he can't accept for being rejected by all these boys...
... and I don't blame him.
I mean, they don't even give him time to...
Hi!
Hey, Levi!
I like this song.
Hi, Cooper!
How are you doing? / Good, how are you doing?
We have many children good boys here,
And you have teenagers better daughters.
Hi, Deedee./ Hi.
Do you want to dance with Daddy?
Yeah! Yes, father.
Good.
Daddy loves you and will always love you.
I love you too, Dad...
But where are the boys?
All right, Cooper.
The next day, it's my turn to give a lecture.
Holy Spirit tells me to invite Kennedy...
... to come to tell his testimony to other children.
When he enters the room, so does holy spirit.
Thank you for doing this.
Okay, they're all here.
Are you ready?
OK.
I believe...
... against Father in Heaven and church.
We must do what is right,
So we can be together with with Him again.
We will meet him...
And hug him.
I will...
I will very, very miss all of you.
What did you do last night,
You...
You told them, Daddy.
OK.
He wants to thank all of you...
... because I've danced with him, but he can't say that...
I told him it's not important, because you are all bad.
Father!
Good work, Kennedy!
Mother is very proud of you.
After he left, I gave a testimony.
I tell them if Kennedy will be home soon.
The feeling in that room is very unbelievable...
When I think of the next way to help him,
A sound enters my head,
"Invite him to the futbol match this weekend."
I really don't know what it's about,
But then we know there are other people at that time...
... who begs for an way to cure his child.
Jill, that's not fair!
Yes, why should Jordyn and Megan, but not us?
Because we are the final generation! / I don't care about that!
We all join the trial for the team.
You know, we already... / The team must...
Stop! Well, I've decided.
Go home and drink quiet medicine.
Medication calm down?
Go!
This is ridiculous. Always happens every year.
Have a good night fun.
Welcome to Moyle's Field!
Number 29, Austin Bolos, who carries the ball.
Bring the ball towards the left side of the field.
Come on Wolves!
Wolves!
Come on Wolves!
Make him stop, Dad, so he stops!
Wolves!
F-H-S.
Come on! Advanced!
I think we will go for a walk.
Where do we go Kenners?
Fremont, Silver Wolves.
Kenn, we can't go there.
What do we do?
Fremont, Silver Wolves.
Wolves!
Come on Wolves!
Fremont, Silver Wolves.
Come on Wolves!
Hi, what's your name?
Kennedy.
Good name!
I'm Jordyn.
I can see you like cheering.
Wolves! Come on Wolves!
Come on Kennedy! / Jordyn!
Okay, I have to go. Nice to meet you!
Hugs!
OK, see you later.
Wolves! Come on Wolves!
You too, Dad.
Again!
A wolf's father is sick.
Thank you, Kenn.
What do you think, Jill?
We will help whatever you want.
I think this might be what we need.
Let's do that.
Hello?
Yes.
That would be amazing.
Really?
Yes.
We really want it if you tell him.
Thank you very much. Well, see you.
Jase!
You won't believe this!
Have a nice day, kids.
I love you, Mom. / I love you, Mom.
Hey, Kennedy. / Yes?
Today will be a special day .
Always like that.
But today is different because Bu Schof...
What's wrong with Beau?
You don't know? There is always that is not right with Beau.
Lexi, who is the girl with the stick?
I don't know.
This is very bad.
Can we speak with Kennedy?
If you don't mind?
Kennedy, my name is Jill Schofield.
I'm a cheerleading coach at Fremont.
I understand if you have talent to be a cheerleader.
Yes.
Really?
I'm good.
Incidentally we need other cheerleaders...
... and we want to know if you want come and help us.
Seriously?
Kennedy, this is Jordyn.
Yes, seriously.
This is for you.
We are very happy have you in the team.
We will give uniforms to your mother.
See you, Kennedy. We love you!
I'm a cheerleader!
Sorry!
Cheerleaders!
I'm really impatient.
Yes, this is very good.
But Heath...
Don't you worry how this will end?
A little...
I mean, he thinks he's a guide the best cheers in the world.
That's right.
Hey, this is a dream that becomes reality for all of us.
We go on stage after the duo singer?
I think that's what Tyler said.
But I heard something different.
Kennedy!
You will be very good!
Yeah!
Good, we will meet later, and do it like your training!
Understand?
Ready!
Fremont!
Wake up and shout, stand with us.
Now ejalah.
S-I-L-V-E-R, Silver.
Silver! / Say Silver!
W-O-L-V-E-S, Wolves.
We are Wolves.
Silver Wolves.
What did the girl do? He is totally out of tune.
He messed it up!
Why did they allow he got on stage?
He is bad, very bad.
S-I-L-V-E-R, Silver.
Say Silver.
W-O-L-V-E-S, Wolves.
Silver! / Silver!
Wolves! / We are Silver Wolves.
Yes! / Wolves!
Excuse me, ma'am.
I just want to tell you...
... if the girl on the stage is and has difficulty with her movements,
That is our daughter Kennedy.
You wonder why he did there...
What he does is his best effort.
He is blind, and he loses his motor skills...
... because of a severe illness.
But we are very, very proud of him.
Sorry, I'm not trying to...
It's okay, you don't know.
I'm sorry, I don't know.
I'm not angry.
I'm fine.
Kennedy, you've been very good!
Kennedy!
Kenners!
Kennedy, I performed really well!
We are very proud of you, Deedee!
You're so amazing! Good work!
Well, Kennedy, we are very happy tonight!
Come on Fremont!
Wolves!
Kennedy!
Come on, Ken!
Emily, are you okay?
No, it's very sick.
Can you walk?
Come on Wolves!
We must replace Emily's position.
What's wrong?
He falls and makes his ankle sprained.
Pray!
You!
Pray!
God of everything,
We hope Emily can get better...
... and hopefully we are not hurt.
Amen./ Amen!
Good prayer!
Come on Wolves!
I am back soon.
All is well?
Emily hurt.
Is he okay?
What happens when you form this circle?
Right.
We pray.
I don't think you should be able to do that at school, right?
Okay, I have to go.
So that's what the scriptures say.
Why do you think that is?
This makes no sense to me.
This was written hundreds of years ago.
It's different now. / Who is talking?
That's Jaden. / We can't hope...
... to live the same standardization life the same as them.
The world has changed.
Jaden is a smart and popular student
He is the target of all girls. / I understand...
... if God doesn't change and everything,
But that doesn't make sense to me.
What does it look like?
Anna!
Alright, blonde hair,
Brown eyes, big muscles.
As big as this one?
No, no one can have that much muscle.
And also, he really likes sports and...
Handsome, is he handsome ?!
He's handsome, right?
Jaden!
I love Jaden!
Jaden is my girlfriend.
After that,
Everything about Jaden. / I will be your girlfriend.
Jaden!
Girlfriend!
Jaden in class!
He doesn't stop talking about Jaden until he sleeps.
Jaden smart...
I swear we hear the name Jaden...
... thousands of times even before we met him.
Gosh, enough!
Jaden!
I'm very impatient. My dress is very good.
Wait, when is the event? / 29, I can't wait!
Kenners, are you going to invite men to the dance party?
You must! Have you thought of someone?
Maybe.
All right, everyone! Many of us have to do today.
Everything sits on the floor.
Listen, we start.
First, there is a delay that cannot be accepted anymore.
That's not what we want.
Jill, actually there are many that happened lately...
... and some of us have good reasons.
Maybe some of you have to tell us about that.
Let's do this.
We will take turns, and all of you will say...
... what hinders you from your obligations.
You started, Megan.
My mother gave me a lot pressure lately...
... to get good grades, so I take an additional class...
Sometimes, the situation at home is very difficult.
My father...
My father... / He just saw me like...
As if you know what are you talking about? And that...
I tried this new conditioner...
And sometimes it takes a long time to get the right results,
Rinse it, wash it, and repeat.
It's not always my fault, because sometimes...
... they don't know what they are going to do...
... and that's frustrating...
OK, Kennedy, what's your obstacle?
None.
I think he doesn't understand the question.
Kennedy, what makes you difficult?
None.
I cheered.
I love all of you.
None.
Interesting...
Can anyone tell me why Kennedy doesn't have a challenge?
Because he does not consider that it is an obstacle.
I think with only one word,
Kennedy has taught us a lot about obstacles.
Anyone agree with me?
What if we stop complain and try?
Hey, Deedee! / Hi.
Mom?
May I invite boys to dance?
Yes, it will be very good!
I am sure you know who you want to ask.
Say!
Come on, Deedee, say!
Jaden!
Wait...
You must make it mean about the way you invited him.
We will think about something.
That will be very good.
Yes.
Guide Dog
Do you understand?
Who do you know that from?
She's a blind girl from my schoolmate. / (Will you guide me to dance?)
That's so sweet!
You have to go!
I like your appearance...
You will amaze, Kenners./ I know!
Wait!
See if you like this...
Your father also likes that.
Okay, so I give you a little.
What if Jaden doesn't like me?
Come on! Why doesn't he like you ?!
But what if he likes me!
Jaden is famous.
Please enter!
Glad to finally be able to meet !
It's an honor to be here.
You have a charming princess.
Thank you.
Enter, and meet the others.
Hi.
You know Anna.
And this is Kennedy's mother, Heather.
Hi, Jaden.
And this little guy Beau.
You're right Kennedy, he's handsome.
It's embarrassing.
This is for you.
Thank you!
For that night,
Kennedy is not a girl who has Batten Disease.
She's a girl who is dating with a handsome man.
And since that night, we will always like Jaden.
School time passed so fast.
Before we know, is approaching the final test.
Kennedy enters heavier day.
And that doesn't convince to continue.
What's wrong, honey? / He wants to go.
Really?
Then let's go.
He goes with a worsening condition ,
Hold it and keep cheering.
Mr. Belnap says I must speak a little,
Because my wife Heather and I like this school,
And we love all of you...
... for what you have done for our daughter, Kennedy.
Many things come and go in life,
But this year, this moment you've given Kennedy,
We will never forget.
And we hope you also won't forget that.
I can say very confidently,
That Kennedy won't be able to guide cheer again next year,
He doesn't even...
He will never forget.
Never forget!
Thank you for all you have done...
... to give Kennedy a beautiful year in Fremont High School.
We love you!
Kennedy let us know if a month after he died,
A miracle will occur.
He keeps telling us if he dreams about heaven...
... and Father in Heaven wants him to go home.
While he still understands,
You have to take him for a walk for the last time.
Lately, he can't afford to speak very clearly.
But soon I took him to the truck, he said very clearly...
Father,
If the whole family stays choose the right thing,
We will all be together forever.
Are you okay, Beau-Beau?
Come here
What are you thinking about?
What if Mother and Father become sick and die?
No.
It won't happen.
Father.
Hi, kids!
Glad you came.
Hello. Hi, Megan./ Hai.
He is waiting for you. So, come in.
The others will come here in a minute.
OK, thank you.
So, he can't talk anymore,
But he will know you're here.
And to communicate,
You can ask him Yes or No questions.
If he feels your hand once, that means No,
Twice means Yes.
OK.
Are you sure?
Are you very sure? / Megan, ask him again.
OK.
Do you think Jaden is handsome?
Do you think Jaden is a handsome man from all over the world?
Kennedy,
Are you afraid?
He is very good.
There was nothing he feared.
He is close to Father in Heaven.
Kenn,
Can you see Jesus?
I can feel if he is here.
Children, can we enter?
You helped us a lot...
... more than we ever did do for you, Princess.
He is a reliable adherent.
When you hug him, you can feel his kindness.
Also the beauty that he has inside.
I love you, Kennedy.
The whole squad sings him, "Let It Go."
I'm having trouble...
You helped me see what...
What really matters.
Three little ducks that I know...
Shake, shake, shake in line...
When the mother duck says kwek, kwek, kwek...
One small duck comes goes rocking back...
Your grandmother often sings the song is Mother,
He is gone.
And now it's your turn.
Kennedy Ann Hansen...
With the power of Jesus Christ,
I put my hand on your head,
And I tell you...
Start the process...
... to release yourself from all worldly problems and burdens.
There are already people waiting...
... to be hugged by you.
A few hours later, he died.
One Month Then
Wait, isn't this the house of the people they say hate us?
No.
Senior.
Most trainers take care of their junior .
Forcing them to do something like this.
When I become a coach, my juniors will like me.
Finally!
Jace, call for you. / Okay, thank you.
Hello.
Yes, Lance.
Glad to help.
Good, to meet day Friday at 7:00 p.m.
You really don't know why are we here?
Is everything okay?
Are you okay?
You know, step by step.
We can't imagine what you've been through,
But hopefully what will we tell you...
... will bring you a little comfort.
Lexi wants to say something to you.
Our family is not so religious...
I immediately respect Kennedy...
... because you can know him...
You know, he knows Christ.
On the night when Kennedy died...
... and the whole team comes to saying goodbye,
I got a very strong feeling ...
Feelings that have never been I experienced before.
When it's my turn to say goodbye to him,
I hugged him and said,
"Did you choose this?"
And Kennedy answered,
Yes.
Even though he is unconscious self all the time,
He said that very clearly.
I keep thinking if somehow,
Maybe he said to God, that doesn't happen to him.
And that doesn't make me can stop crying...
At home, I rush to my room,
And I just lay down there and cry.
I cry for up to an hour.
Then,
He comes.
I feel him sitting on the edge of my bed.
I feel him putting his hand on my hand.
Lexi,
Who comes to you?
Kennedy.
Then, without him talking,
He talks to me.
Lexi, missionaries will come...
... and you have to listen to them.
You must have confidence and be strong.
Especially, you must help your father.
Then I feel the pressure _ disappear from my bed and hand.
I thought he was gone.
But he is still there.
Lexi.
Be brave.
When I turn again, he is gone.
I cry until I fall asleep.
The next morning, My mother entered my room.
Honey.
Kennedy died.
But I already know.
I feel embarrassed to tell others.
But I keep thinking about it all the time.
Then shortly after that...
Can I help you with something?
We are missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
We have messages that want to be shared with you.
Are there other people at home?
We can't enter if there are only one woman.
My daughter is at home.
Does that matter?
Sure.
You must know if my husband was born in a church,
But this has been a long time since he left the church.
Something that happened in his life...
... doesn't just turn him into a distance from the church.
He is angry and upset about that.
If he goes home, I'm sure you have to go.
That is not the first time happened to us.
Lance, just listen to what I want to say.
You know how I feel about this.
You must understand finding heavier problems,
A few weeks before,
I go home with awkward stomach pain.
It turns out I have pancreatic cancer.
That which killed my grandmother,
And that also makes my mother died.
The doctor said one more drink could kill him.
So with everything that happens in my life...
... then cancer.
I am angry with God.
I think, how can there be a God?
So with this attitude, I go home...
Then there is this missionary in my house.
So I tell them how I feel.
I go to church and do all that,
And God, if God does exist,
He has turned away from me.
I don't believe that.
I don't know how you can sit there and say you believe.
I think you're angry to God...
... and you tell the others...
... to convince them for their own good.
I think demons want to your position like now.
That comment is really about me,
But the next Senior said directly into my heart.
We want you to know, Brother Velasquez,
If we don't knock the door randomly.
In our mission, we are not allowed to do that.
We were sent here,
To this house, to you.
God has a big plan for you and your family.
Father, on the night he died,
Kennedy tells me this will happen.
We must listen to them.
I deliver school children,
And I saw Kennedy.
I see a decrease in health.
I'm so attached to it. Somehow.
Now, this all starts can be accepted.
So we want to know if you are here with us,
While we get lessons from missionaries.
Kennedy tells us if a month after he dies,
There will be miracles.
This is a miracle.
People ask how we can so sincerely lose our child.
I have to tell you one more thing.
One morning, when I was still in middle school, Kennedy That day was like a normal day, and our family passed...
... morning usually with studying the scriptures,
Pray and breakfast.
We deliver school children...
... and Heather goes to the gym.
When I start my morning prayer,
It directly affects me.
The moment I start,
My whole body vibrates.
I am filled with spirits that are very warm and soothing.
Until today I don't know if I heard the sound of my mind...
... or if it's a loud sound,
That said,
"I want him to go home, my child,"
"I want him to go home."
I started to pray again.
When I pray, I remember Kennedy's entire life journey.
Our life.
My little family.
It plays back in my mind like a movie.
That is assurance.
I want him to go home.
I don't know when, I don't know how,
But that day, I got what I wanted.
I can see planning copy.
He is still a teenage girl,
But he reaches his goal,
Become a cheerleader.
Dating.
He can even drive...
More or less.
Family Velasquez is only a portion of thousands, maybe millions...
... the Kennedy changed to goodness.
If I live up to 100 years,
I will not be able to do kindness to others...
... as Kennedy did in 16 years of his short life.
Now, I keep on dreaming of others.
But that's the dream I have, when I'm awake...
And I'm impatient.
Father!
His life is like a love letter for all of us,
Greetings dear, Kennedy
Velasquez family.
Lexi, Alysaa and Lataschia were baptized on August 10, 2014.
Lance continues his fight against cancer.

Senior Jaden Loftus currently serves LDS mission in Chihuahua, Mexico
Although he can't see,
He will always say if you are beautiful.
Or he will feel your hair and say you're beautiful...
... and just holding his hand when you sit next to him,
You can know if he loves you...
... and near it, you always feel happy.
He never loses ability to know...
... that he is loved by Father in Heaven.
He never doubted his beliefs...
... and on that day, he made me whole...
... and he will return to live with Him.
I have been warned and told by Father in Heaven...
... if we will lose him, if he wants him to go home,
And that is of course the worst dream for parents,
But in our case, it helped I prepared to send him home,
And if I don't have that preparation,
I don't know that I can accept that,
I think I will oppose it.
So it's not that it's nightmare,
It becomes a final journey which is beautiful and amazing.
Even when he starts loses sight,
His mother, Heather, came to his room...
... to help him pray...
... and he started first.
He said, "Father in Heaven,"
"I'm not angry with You because lost my sight,"
"I only need your help so I can continue to move forward."
"I need Your help and I love You so much."
And I...
What else can I teach me beyond that?
We started getting lessons from evangelists...
... then we really bring it from our house...
... to Hansen's family home and get a lesson there...
... then the holy spirit that is at the Kennedy residence...
... also the love that the family has from the church...
... only for God as a whole,
Shake our world.
I don't know why he came to me.
We have never been so close.
Maybe it's because I really need it.
We have never been so religious.
My father has been seriously ill...
... and with the pain, he became very hateful to God.
And Kennedy really change that.
He says what we have to do,
And when we do it, the condition is getting better.
When I listen to Jason,
I know if I'm not taught...
... how to deal with my problem,
I basically taught how to die.
And I guess Kennedy teaches me how to do that,
Because of his honor.
So, I'm sorry.
He touched me that way...
... and I think through God's messages,
God sent Jason to me that day to talk to me...
Teach me and to tell me...
... what happened to me spiritually.
We go home and everyone is asleep.
It was around 2:30 in the morning...
... and I drive 4,000 miles to the South...
... then there is a big light that comes from...
... from behind the church and that go to the Hansen family's house.
My first instinct like,
I'm curious if there are cameras there,
Then I think, no,
It's a different type of light.
Then the holy spirit...
Holy Spirit tells me if Kennedy will go home,
And the angels are picking him home.
The next morning,
I saw on Facebook if he died.
Due to this family,
I know belief will guide me,
Helping me survive, and I don't believe that before.
It's like it's not there, but now it's the opposite.
Although my prognosis is not so good now...
Because of the aggressiveness of my disease,
I still feel the peace coming.
And I know if all will be fine, because...
My family...
Because, you know,
There are now hundreds of thousands of thousands of church members...
... who will take care of them,
And take care of them for me.
