LIVE LIFE

On June 1, 2007, twenty-seven year old Zach Sowers was jumped outside of his home in Baltimore City and beaten by four teenage boys. Despite receiving immediate medical attention, the former Frederick resident, has remained in a coma since that fateful day.

Below is a paragraph from a recent post by Zach's wife, Anna, from http://www.zachsowers.com/ - a website updating friends and family on Zach's condition. It took me out of my head for a moment and reminded me of what is actually urgent in this life.

"Zach is still exactly the same, which is actually not good news since we want him to improve neurologically. The doctors are saying that his prognosis is the same as it's been from the beginning, which is not optimistic. We are definitely worried that there has been no change but we can only wait and see. We take things day by day. It's crazy to think that we've battled this "day by day" for almost 9 months now. The trial is over, the defendants are in prison, and Zach is still in the hospital. I hope that from this, you learn to live life b/c it can be taken from you in an instant. Don't sweat the small stuff. Learn to enjoy the time you have, and do what it is you've always wanted to do in life. If lack of money is the reason you can't do something, than save up and enjoy what it is that you have plenty of. No excuses."

On September 30th, Sol Yoga raised $313.00 for the Zach Sowers Support Fund. To read more on Zach's condition & local fundraisers to help support his family, visit http://www.zachsowers.com/
