thelittlethingsbyjackie:

I remember the first Esther Day I celebrated, three years ago at LeakyCon. I remember hearing her story as though it were yesterday. The story of a girl with kindness in her soul and laughter in her heart. The story of the girl who inspired “The Fault in Our Stars.” The story of a girl who, when asked how she wanted her birthday celebrated, requested that it be a day where people vocally express their love for one another. A day like Valentine’s Day, but without the baggage, and not just limited to a lover. A day filled with pure love for all.

So on this August 3rd, on what would be Esther’s 22nd birthday, I will send love out to my family, love out to my friends, love out to all of you, and love out to Esther Earl, a girl who is no longer here, but is somehow still teaching us to open our hearts a little further, and to love a little deeper.

Happy Esther Day ❤️❤️❤️ @tswgobook

I ran the San Francisco Marathon last weekend!! It was brutal and tough, but I chugged along slowly and finished strong!

I also ran as part (and team leader) of Team Awesome Palo Alto, the running arm of This Star Won’t Go
Out (@tswgo​), a foundation that supports families with children who have cancer.
We’re getting close to our fundraising goal! Check out our CrowdRise site!

This is a beautiful version of Harry and the Potters’ ‘The Weapon’. Live performances of this song are always powerful, but this one is very special.

Say what you want about John Green and his writing, but I just got some of the best news ever because of him. If it wasn’t for me picking up The Fault In Our Stars, reading Hazels diagnosis and thinking “holy shit that was almost my exact situation” I wouldn’t have found out about This Star Won’t Go Out. And I wouldn’t have learned about their financial assistance program. A few months back I got a routine test that I’ve had plenty of times before but with my new insurance the shots I needed ended up costing me over $2,400. TSWGO is reimbursing me for almost all of it. I’m literally sobbing from happiness. I’m so grateful for John, the Earl family, and anyone involved in TSWGO and Project For Awesome. This is amazing.

“She would have said herself that she lived a very full life, she didn’t waste any time. She had a sense of what was important. Esther is in everyone’s heart, she’s absolutely here, and will pull us all forward.”
