Sinopsis

Some stories are meant to be written, other stories are meant to be told. Gary Springer’s story is emotionally uplifting, but heart wrenching to the core, for he had to endure not only the near death of his son, but he had to also endure the pain of losing his wife to cancer. Gary always looks at things in a positive light, and though suffering so much from witnessing the tragedy that befell his son, as well as losing his wife, he shows us the power of thinking positive and overcoming enormous challenges. Gary is a wonderful example of how one can overcome personal tragedy, and keeping the promise of life at the top of the spire. (Gary’s son) Nick was at summer camp. He was on a hike sharing a water bottle. Somebody had the meningococcal meningitis bacteria in their system. Nick took a sip and passed the bottle back to the next guy. By the time he passed the water bottle back to the next guy, the bacteria was dead. A day later, Nick came down with meningococcal meningitis. They saved NIck’s life that night.
