  	You all may remember a little while ago when I ranted how there are only a handful of people that I care about so deeply that I would trust my life with them or lay down my life for them. On October 14, 2009, one of these people finally pasn. I do not believe I told many, if any, of you about Zac, but he was only the most cheerful person you could ever hope to meet. You could not be angry or sad if he was around. He had a spirit as beautiful as ever imagined, a spirit containedn a body that was less than such. Zac was afflicted with cerebral palsy, but that alone was not the cause of what made him special. Through his life Zac came down with many illnesses, among them were more than one outbreak of meningitis which eventually left him paralyzed and far more handicapped, physically and mentally, than he otherwise would have been. I would often find, especially on days when I had actually seen Zac, that I was envious of his position. Not sorrowed or insultin, but genuinely envious. Zac had an outlook on the world that was always "grass is greener" deal. And Zac's reas not just to myself or our ward, as Zac was one of my church friends. Our stake center was nearly filled to capacity with people that all had memories of Zac. Most were in our ward or had been in our ward at one point in time, many were family from across the globe I think, and some were just simply people who knew Zac and knew how much he loved life. All that, and as selfish perhaps as it may seem, I am truly envious of. ____________________________________________________________
