No one has EVER “lost” their battle with cancer... their battle ended. But their memory can live on.

[@abrahamramirez1521]

I agree long live zach i will say when im a pro soccer/futbol player that this man was one of the reasons im still going

[@n0b0dyreal1y]

Nobody has lost their battle, they have just won them in the most unique ways, that is what I love to think

[@leece_6702]

Yes, overused phrases can lose their impact, "he/she would light up a room with their smile" is definitely another

[@valentinacardona173]

I am agree , I hate that term . They lost their lives , not their battle

[@dkyk00]

I found this video while I was struggling with depression and anxiety... And it has brought me so much peace. 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.

[@jinlets]

Same here. Cheer up, dkykk00! I will do as well.

[@cynthiaponce1058]

Same here

[@dkyk00]

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.

[@dkyk00]

Yes, let's carry on his torch! :)

[@Synicizm]

+dyk00 I hope you aren't still feeling ashamed. You fought a hard battle too. We each have our own struggles, and yours shouldn't be minimized. I'm so happy you're doing better. 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.

[@elizabethsarah6031]

It’s perhaps the most unselfish loving thing you can say to someone in that type of situation. When you can feel that they are holding on for you because they know how much you will hurt when they go and they need to know that you’ll be okay.

He's amazing because of it, otherwise most of the world wouldn't really know about. I guess his path was to touch a couple million lives rather than his immediate friend group.

[@iwnunn7999]

[@varadaavachat4227]

Stephen O'Meara that's very well written and deep...👌👍

[@lovecinnamonxx]

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.

[@vanilla5245]

@@lovecinnamonxx I agree! But the ones that do have cures are not offered as treatment so it's still not okay

I hope Zach can see now just how big an impact he's made on literally thousands of people. 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.

for all the people who disliked this.... I think you clicked the wrong button.

[@michellesullivan3927]

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 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!

This is great!!!!!

[@Defnot_95]

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.

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.

We're playing Clouds for our Sunset Gala at my school, which is a huge concert and we ended up watching all of the Zach videos. Everyone cried. RIP Zach, your story inspired many people out there.

Oh, Soul Pancake, you break my heart, time and time again. Thank you so much for featuring Zach and his story, last year and now this year. I have wondered how his family and friends were dealing with the loss. Zach was an inspiration as are his family and friends. I will definitely be buying his mom's book.

I'm crying like a little baby. Thank you sharing his story!

[@alleaeichler228]

Truly an inspiration this young man was. RIP Zach, you've made a change for the better

[@janetvalencia597]

I have lived that pain through the loss of my brother. So devastating. Life is never truly the same after such a loss.

[@carmendemos2282]

You held a beautiful soul for 18 years thank you for sharing him with us.

[@elliebolland8510]

when ever I hear his song I get goosebumps and I cry for his family #missyouZach

[@modzer627]

Holly crap, I usually don't but I can't watch this without tearing up.... God bless you Zach, and may all you'r family and loved ones meet you again.

[@wotchermuggle]

Absolutely sobbed through this entire video. #liveeverymoment

I lost my mother earlier this year to brain cancer and can empathize with Zach's family. Every time I watch it, I marvel at Zach's unwavering strength and emotional fortitude, despite the grim nature of his prognosis. He is truly a model for anyone who is living the face of a challenge, be it an illness, or anything else that causes fear or discomfort. I aspire to embody Zach's peaceful and accepting mindset in my own life, and hope his family is coping well these days.

This is one of the most powerful short films ive ever seen. What an amazing human being. Why do the best of people always have the shortest time on this earth?

[@bmwchickk]

I wanna give these poor people a hug... I couldn't even imagine this

[@LuzkLT22]

This is insanely beautiful. Thank you so much to the Sobiech's family and to SoulPancake for sharing this amazing story with the world.

[@mirandafo7151]

God. The mother’s vivid description of their last moments just made me ball my eyes out.

[@bigrandomun9267]

This is what steered me away from ending my own life when I was going through a severe bout of depression - Leaving all my family and friends behind but without no explanation or reasoning on what happened to me or why I chose to end myself. I just couldn’t stomach the feeling of my mother being heartbroken. Now seeing Zach spend his last few months alive on making sure all those around him understood just how much he loved them all and wanted to spread the message to help out as many people as possible, it makes me feel confused because I don’t know how someone on their last legs can have so much strength to keep fighting and to make sure that their efforts aren’t in vain, especially with how long he was ill initially, got better and then got bone cancer. It shouldn’t be possible to keep fighting to help other people, to keep those around him happy and feeling loved. RIP Zach, hope the sound is good up there.

[@amandarich5250]

I started crying watching the movie clouds and watching his videos has made me cry and cry for ZackI will be praying for him

[@talegunner115]

[@ksmiles124]

I cried throughout this entire video. Thank you for this amazing message and I hope you all live in peace and harmony and I hope you know that Zach is going to be okay.

[@11soccerchika11]

he was truly an inspiration

[@jillmanuel9868]

This is one of the most beautiful and meaningful story's of an incredible 17 year old young man, who's dying of cancer and really shares the true meaning of love, life and living in the moment for the last few months of his life...so very inspirational and a heartbreaking look at his special journey with family and friends!!

[@MiamiGirl]

I needed a good reason to cry today...too many things going on in my life that I can't control right know so was just looking for a way to get my sadness/anger out! THIS WAS IT!!! however, it put into a small space in my mind all that I am struggling with and realized how petty our little issues are in reality. THANKS for opening my eyes, mind and definitely soul.

[@isabelrose9770]

This is how i felt today.

[@ConfusedTraveler555]

[@hazelxtaliahazelxtalia9975]

[@janicelarsen8292]

This is the most incredible kid. His personality is amazing. While learning of his situation I so fell in love with him and his entire family they're all amazing people. I pray for all of you.

[@kdever829]

He left a lot of love behind, and in the end, that's really the best thing we can do.

[@taisep.olanda8845]

Just can't stop crying. Just can't.
