Zach Sobiech passed away one year ago on May 20th 2013. [Watch the original doc here: • Meet Zach Sobiech | My... ] Since then, extraordinary things have happened, not only for him and his beautiful music, but also for his spectacular family. While Zach's passing was incredibly difficult for each of them, somehow the Sobiech's have been able to find the joy, grace, and silver lining in it all. This inspiring documentary picks up one year after his passing, and follows his family, and friends as they adjust to life without their beloved Zach and each remember in their own way that, "you don't have to find out you’re dying, to start living."
Read more about Zach, Laura and the Sobiech family's incredible journey in her memoir, FLY A LITTLE HIGHER. Learn more about the book here: goo.gl/OX1fec

I felt ashamed for thinking about giving up on life when there are people like Zach who were fighting so hard for more time. Thank you, Zach and the Sobiech family for sharing your story, you have inspired me in ways I never new it was possible.

    • Today marks a little over 2 years after posting the original message. To be honest, I had forgotten about posting this, and was only reminded of it after Cynthia Ponce and Tall_guy 123 replies. A lot has changed: I have overcome the dark days of depression, and have been winning my battle over it. Life has started to be productive and colorful again. We all know depression is a lifetime battle, so I know it's not over, but I have been making myself stronger :) I cannot believe how much has changed over 2 years. And the changes started after watching this...! Thank you again, Zach and the Sobiech family: for inspiring me and so many people, as I can see over the messages on this board. Zach's death still is heartbreaking, but it is truly amazing how many lives were touched because of it. I send my love and my prayers you, Zach and Sobiech family! All I can say is: thank you. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift.

This is helping me too, as I continue to try to stomp depression and anxiety and deal with a chronic illness. I've felt much lower than this. I've been where you were too. A lot of people don't ever find their way out. Congratulations, and please remember to keep looking after yourself. I am inspired by Zach too. What a beautiful soul with a tremendous voice! I'm sure his words continue to uplift many people.

    • IW Nunn I really wish people would finally stop saying that cancer is only still around because the cure is being held back or something like that. What nobody seems to understand is that cancer is an umbrella term for a multitude of different diseases, and each type of cancer requires a different treatment. It can have so many different causes and characteristics. If it's difficult to comprehend, think of bacterial infections, for example. There is no antibiotic that can cure them all, right? Same goes for cancer.

He wasn't just a kid, or someone with cancer, he was a strong, inspiring, beautiful person with a strong and kind soul, and knew things about life that we can learn from that can make us better. He may have passed away but wow is he still so alive thru every person who's ever known his name. He found the way to live forever. I hope we can all learn from Zach that love and kindness is the only way.

  • I “met” Zach my junior year of high school. I was in a dark spot in my life struggling with family and mental problems. My sociology teacher introduced us to Zach and a girl named Claire whom had CF. The videos on Claire and Zach changed my life. Here I am a year later and still listening to their stories. Still listening to Clouds. Still remembering their lives. Zach brought so much positivity in my life. It’s so weird how such a sad thing that has happened to a person and family can bring someone so much positivity. Listening to Zach talk about life and Clouds changed my perspective on EVERYTHING! I felt and still feel like I KNOW him and that he’s a friend. I think that says a lot about a person. When you feel so close to someone whom you haven’t even met and died 9 year prior to you even finding him. I think it shows how much of an amazing person he was. Zach is doing so much in his absence. He’s changing so many lives. He is missed and loved by thousands even though we don’t even know him.

    • Everything in life has a equal and opposite reaction. Where there is up there is down, where there is hot there is cold. negative has a positive, left has a right ETC. Because there are dislikes included may not mean what you think. People who watch this story you can't help but love Zach as well as his family and especially their outlooks. Because of that most people feel a bond with one, a few if not all of them. The way of being is so completely rare it seems fictional. Laura, "Zach mother" put it the best when she said we are all craving the same exact thing. To hit the dislike button I assure you on most accounts is due to the fact that part of this families being, ways and existence is gone. Again I think to most viewers there's a bond. It's almost like some of us are going through the loss and pain at some level with this family which by the way is exactly what we are all suppose to or should for each other weather we know each other or not. Having said all that the dislike on many levels I am sure is we dislike the loss. Think now how many people watched this as well as the original video and had dry eyes at the end? I know I did not have dry eyes. Get it?

  • I can't stop crying. I never met Zack or his family but know people who knew him. I live in St Paul and I remember the first time I heard his story I was blown away. This family was MY family 16 yrs ago. No my brother wasn't a world famous musician topping the itunes charts. But to alot of people he was OUR Zack. My brother also did from a very rare bone cancer called Ewing Sarcoma....he was 14. The best thing he taught me and continues to teach me is to love and that life is so precious. So many times I get swept away with the day to day living that I forget to give thanks for the fact Im breathing, that Im alive. He was my best friend and will always be so. So "Danny Boy" I love you So. I like to think that you and zack are friends and play music together.

  • I really appreciate that you guys did a follow-up of the Sobiechs a year later. It's so easy to forget about those who were affected after the initial tragedy. Everyone else goes on with their normal lives after the fact. The family who has lost someone is missing a piece of what they knew as "normal" so going on with life as they knew it is impossible. As someone who has been the sibling of someone with cancer, I can relate. I think this is an awesome viewpoint and documentary. I really, really appreciate the reality of this video and how well made it is. Thank you!
