These men are window washers at a children’s hospital in Pittsburg. Some might think the job is menial, but to the kids who are horribly ill, looking out their window seeing their favorite superhero at their window makes all the pain go away for a bit. And that would make the job worthwhile.

Do you feel like life owe you something?
I felt that way on my worst years. I felt I was a victim of life. Everybody seems to have more chances and things I didn’t, and I felt like… I was an orphan in life. Someone who needed to be rescued, by somebody or something. I always asked: Why good things never happen to me!!!??. And because I felt that way, I was depressed, I faced everyday with bitterness and I wasn’t happy at all.
The day that MJ’s died, on June of 2009, was the worst day of my life. I thought, nothing can be worst. If I die too, I don’t care. But, that day that bitterness of myself started to die too. It was a hard process, but all that experience let me wake up, to understand: “Hey, life don’t wait for anybody!… Hurry or you will miss everything good on it!.” I started to realize that chances aren’t necessarily gifts we should receive. I started to understand I was in command of my own life, and if I wanted something to happen, it was my responsibility to create the chances, or move and ask for them. So… even I still felt touched by MJ’s death, I couldn’t feel unhappy anymore. I could step out from depression and be able to work for myself. Believing in me and my abilities.
Since that, I’m a new person. I never wait and I don’t feel a victim anymore. I hope my story can help you too.

I don’t see the loss when I look in the mirror but this helps. I still have a bit more to lose till I’m where I want to be. I also have loose skin that needs to be surgically taken off. Once that happens, I’ll be the happiest person in the world
