Lev in 6th grade: I don't feel good but I'm happy

In the spring of sixth grade, Lev came down with what the experts thought was "viral juvenile arthritis". He was really weak and tired for about three months, including going to school for half days for part of the time. Then, he just got better one day. Subsequent tests showed he was fine. We will always wonder if that weird illness weakened his system, if there was something we could have strengthened, or if he was just susceptible to really rare illnesses. Anyway, as you see in this video, he took his illness in stride. He had a spirit and love of life that not many people can duplicate.
