I'm sure people will wonder how I chose the name for my blog.
Well, here it goes..
The phrase "never promised tomorrow" is something I started to truly follow as a philosophy when Zach was diagnosed. While he was in essence given a death sentence, I realized that doesn't make him any different than any of us. There is no guarantee that any of us are going to wake up in the morning. While Zach's life may end up being shorter than most, it doesn't mean that it should matter any less. Nor does it mean that he shouldn't get the chance to experience as much as possible in the time he has.
It's a phrase I use when talking with parents of children with life threatening illnesses. I want them to realize that none of us know how long we are going to be around on this Earth. If you spend all of your time planning for death, you forget to live.
We are never promised tomorrow, and in that sense Zach isn't different from any of us.
