I was diagnosed with neuroblastoma 9 years ago at Children's MN and listen to clouds every night I go to bed. Zach died 2 years and 9 days after I was diagnosed. Also by the way I'm cancer-free and 16 years old.

Hello Laura I love the movie Clouds I never cried so hard . Zach showed me you can get though anything no matter help you are facing.

[@Felicity_NF2001]

Crazy that 10 years ago, my teacher played this song when I was 11. They told us his story, and who he was. Even though I was young, this story and song has remained with me. Through everything that’s happened in my life, I’ve always remembered your sweet boy. As someone from iowa, I feel so close to you and your family. God bless you, and thank you for coming into my life 10 years ago, through your son. I will be watching the clouds movie, asap. The song clouds will forever be engraved in my brain. Your son made a huge mark on the youth back then and still to this day! I promise we all remember who he is 10 years later. ❤

I have Zack’s Quote as my Lock Screen ! My husband passed away after jumping in a river Damm after noticing 2 kids were drowning. The kids are fine but my husband didn’t make it . It’s been a year and seven months and I felt like I could never move on , I see other people fighting to live and here I am wanting to die. His story is a blessing to me teaching me to go on and giving it my all. All thing are working together for good . God is always good! Even thou at time we don’t see that!

[@unsolvedcasesandnews]

Dear Mrs Sobiech Our family have just watched clouds on the Disney plus and we had all sobbed . I can’t imagine how proud of Zach and his bravery-and what he has done for so many others . As a mum it must of been so heartbreaking for you and his father and siblings and friends. I myself have had breast cancer 6-7 years ago but luckily got through acute cancer I had 2 lumps in my breast and it had reached my lymph nodes . I am regularly taking tablets and that will be 10 years until they say I’m clearly out of the woods . I know so many people are not so lucky .I know how every day I feel so lucky to be alive and it’s strange how much I appreciate with example the colour of the grass, to the birds and the trees and how much the earth is important now . I wish your family well this current time coming up to Christmas and with covid and how hard that must be for sufferers of cancer during this time . I just also want to say how inspired I was by Zachs bravery and clouds the song is regularly played now much love the Dynes from the U.K.

[@Kitsueki]

I remember hearing his story and being touched so long ago, to this day I think of his personality and wisedom. I fell in love with the way he sees the world and his compassion even through having a horrifying disease. I love his music and his life and the life he gives to people and inspires people to this day. Even not being here with us (sadly) He's amazing. Truly. I know he is smiling from the clouds in a better place knowing he put smiles on the faces of people around the world uniting them together through his story. ☁️Thank you Zach, we love you and you are not forgotten☁️

[@TheAslterp]

Hi Laura! I was excited to watch ZACH's movie "Clouds" last nite and since I already know your story and read your book-I was anxious to see the movie. Zach's memory lives onward even after he has departed. His Spirit has continued on touching so many lives of both young and old!!! As A Christian, Mother of 4 as well and grandmother of 7, I love your family and through the Sobiech Family is close to my heart!!!

[@thelifeofsyd013]

The story of Zach Sobiech and his whole amazing friendships and family really moved me and built me up as my own person. I was so inspired by this story that I decided to honor him by singing "Clouds" for my talent show at school. I sang every word with love and honor towards his whole family and friends. But something that really made me feel confident was that my try outs for the talent show was May 20th the day of..you know what. And by this. It felt like it was meant to be. So this June 2nd coming, I will be singing my heart out for you all! 💙

[@bossysilver90]

whenever i wanna cry, i go and listen to clouds as zach made the song and fulfilled his dreams before he died and is just so touch.... the story changed me somehow and whenever i am happy and when i listen to songs from firm handshake i start crying emotionally and happily that he got what he wanted and that he perished..... THANK YOU ZACH

[@heinomathiassen5280]

Hi . I watched Clouds yesterday.. i have always avoided movies about cancer because of the past. Lost my dad 14 days before my 18 birthday to Alzheimers and short time after my mom got diagnosed with breastcancer and died 6 month after my dad. Right now im 43 but still miss the alot,still cry when i visit there graves while i talk to them. im married and we have 2 girls (5-9) always afraid of losing them. kids shouldnt die before there parents. the music that Zack and Sammy did togehter is amazing and its on repeat since the movie ended. I'm sorry for your loss but I'm also happy on your behalf over the time you spent with Zack. Proud I was allowed to watch his last time. I have respect for his desire to please others in his last days, many just choose and sink into a hole and stay there in self-pity. He is an inspiration to many.

[@francoskills5928]

This message is for Zach's parents. It's been a few years since I discovered Zach, your family and your story. God only knows how many hearts you have touched by sharing your journey with us. I've heard you say dozens of times that Zach was an amazing child, that you were blessed to have him in your life, and you are absolutely right. You had a son and a story that lives up to the parenting qualities you have. What did you expect? Zach is your child, and what he became was possible because of you. Together you raised Zach, and he returned the favor, raising you in return. We can only see how good a job you did as parents when we look at what your son did with his life and his early departure. It is because of the tools you gave him and the lessons you taught him that he was able to turn his pain and sorrow into something that shows how special humanity and humankind is and that we must do everything we can to protect it. So my message is for you, dear Zach's parents. Always discreet, always strong to keep the fortress. Know that you are extraordinary parents. You are an example to all of us. Your work as parents is so excellent that the fruits of your labors become the proof that we must keep faith in God and humanity, that despite the negative way that the media in general have the habit of portraying them, you, you are there and they can't stop you from shining. With all my heart I thank you for existing, I thank God for having created you. Be strong, be proud, because you are strong and excellent parents. God can only be proud of you.

[@bonnytumbles2770]

I just watched the mall In the Clouds 2018 and I saw Zach's brother crying and I really related because I lost my big brother when I was 16 to an accident. Losing a sibling takes an incredible toll for life. Zach and I had cancer at the same time. I often wonder why one person lives and one person dies. What is my purpose. Why am I here. My grandson was born the day after I had my port put in. I remember staring at him sad that I wouldn't see him turn 5, he's 8. We are best buds. Maybe he's my purpose. Team blue supports team gold. Childhood cancer is "rare" and doesn't get the funding it deserves. There is no such thing as "rare" because it has to be someone. No child should die of cancer, period. No child should have cancer. Cancer was the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life. It hurt, the surgeries were vicious and the constant "flu" from chemo was torture. I have a lot of debt from cancer so I can't support with large funding but I do support and love what you are doing. I can however give 99 cents=) I've shared with others and asked them to donate. UP to all of those still fighting. Zach is still changing the world with his love.
