Live Like You Are Dying.

I met this man today, Gary Elam, in downtown Memphis. He was riding his motorcycle and he wore suspenders with flames on them. He is 60, a war veteran, a transplant survivor. He lives deeply and he is filled with gratitude since he got a second chance at life after receiving his transplant. He said he believes he has a lot to give back. He talked about his enlightenment and said "I wish everybody could get a chance to live like they are dying."
