My Mom gave it to me after she received it at the 90th National FFA Convention. She thought it would be a great gift for me to learn about for my 10th birthday. I will pass it on to my brother Brayden.
I heard this story during a session at the 90th National FFA Convention. I hope this card goes far and makes someone’s day.

The card was given to me at the 90th National FFA Convention.
I am 18 and a 6th generation farmer in Nebraksa. Whenever I get to come off of my small farm in rural Nebraska it is always a brand new learning experience. When I was 7 my younger brother, who was 3 at the time, was diagnosed with cancer. It was always kinda rough on my family, I didn’t know at the time but looking back at my life I knew a lot was kept secret from me about what all happened, but I had to be quiet about it for my brother. This had me so much more mature for my age well between that and growing up on a farm has always taught me that life is short an never take it for granted. It has now been almost 8 years since my brother has been cancer free and my family and I are all still together. I know my story could have been so much different but I am glad it was not. So my big take away that I would like to share is: life is short do what you love with who you love and don’t take that time for granted.
