Nancy Frates: Why my family started the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The rest is history

Prevodilac: Stefan Zrnović Lektor: Mile Živković

Well, good afternoon.

Dobar dan.

How many of you

Koliko vas je učestvovalo

took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge?

u Ledenom izazovu?

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

Woo hoo!

Opa!

Well, I have to tell you, from the bottom of our hearts,

Moram da vam kažem, iz dubine duše,

thank you so very, very much.

mnogo, mnogo vam hvala.

Do you know to date the ALS Association

Da li znate da je do sada ALS udruženje

has raised 125 million dollars?

sakupilo 125 miliona dolara?

Woo hoo! (Applause)

Vuhu! (Aplauz)

It takes me back to the summer of 2011.

To me vraća u leto 2011. godine.

My family, my kids had all grown up.

Moja porodica, sva moja deca su odrasla.

We were officially empty nesters,

Zvanično smo imali prazno porodično gnezdo,

and we decided, let's go on a family vacation.

i odlučili smo da odemo na porodični odmor.

Jenn, my daughter, and my son-in-law

Džen, moja ćerka, i moj zet

came down from New York.

je došao iz Njujorka.

My youngest, Andrew,

Moj najmlađi zet, Endrju

he came down from his home in Charlestown

došao je od kuće iz Čarlstauna

where he was working in Boston,

gde je radio u Bostonu,

and my son Pete,

i moj sin Pit,

who had played at Boston College, baseball,

koji je igrao bejzbol na koledžu u Bostonu,

had played baseball professionally in Europe,

profesionalno je igrao bejzbol u Evropi

and had now come home and was selling group insurance, he also joined us.

i tada je došao jer je prodavao grupna osiguranja, i on nam se pridružio.

And one night, I found myself

Jedne noći, našla sam se

having a beer with Pete,

kako pijem pivo sa Pitom,

and Pete was looking at me and he just said,

i Pit me je gledao i samo mi rekao:

"You know, Mom, I don't know,

"Znaš mama, ne znam,

selling group insurance is just not my passion."

prodavanje grupnog osiguranja jednostavno nije moja strast."

He said, "I just don't feel I'm living up to my potential.

Rekao je: "Ne osećam se kao da ostvarujem svoj pun potencijal.

I don't feel this is my mission in life."

Ne osećam da je ovo moja misija u životu."

And he said, "You know, oh by the way, Mom,

I rekao je: "Inače, znaš mama,

I have to leave early from vacation

moram da se vratim ranije sa odmora

because my inter-city league team that I play for made the playoffs,

jer je moj tim u međugradskoj ligi za koji sam igrao prošao u plejof,

and I have to get back to Boston because I can't let my team down.

i moram da se vratim nazad u Boston jer ne smem da izdam svoj tim.

I'm just not as passionate about my job

Ne osećam strast u svom poslu

as I am about baseball."

kao što osećam u igranju bejzbola."

So off Pete went, and left the family vacation —

Tako je Pit otišao i napustio porodični odmor -

break a mother's heart —

slomio majčino srce -

and he went, and we followed four days later

i otišao a mi smo pratili naredna četiri dana

to see the next playoff game.

da vidimo sledeću utakmicu plejofa.

We're at the playoff game, Pete's at the plate,

Bili smo na plejof utakmici, Pit je bio na mestu udarača,

and a fastball's coming in,

i brza loptica se približavala,

and it hits him on the wrist.

i udarila ga je u ručni zglob.

Oh, Pete.

O, Pit.

His wrist went completely limp, like this.

Zglob mu je postao potpuno savitljiv, ovako.

So for the next six months,

Narednih 6 meseci,

Pete went back to his home in Southie,

Pit se vratio nazad kući u Sauti,

kept working that unpassionate job,

nastavlja da radi taj nezanimljivi posao,

and was going to doctors

i išao je kod lekara

to see what was wrong with this wrist

da vidi šta se dešava sa tim zglobom

that never came back.

koji se nikada nije vratio na svoje mesto.

Six months later, in March,

Šest meseci kasnije, u martu,

he called my husband and me, and he said,

pozvao je mog muža i mene i rekao:

"Oh, Mom and Dad, we have a doctor

"Mama, tata, našao sam doktora

that found a diagnosis for that wrist.

koji je otkrio dijagnozu za taj zglob.

Do you want to come with the doctor's appointment with me?"

Da li biste želeli da idete sa mnom na zakazani sastanak?"

I said, "Sure, we'll come in."

Rekla sam: "Naravno, ići ćemo."

That morning, Pete, John and I

Tog jutra, Pit, Džon i ja

all got up, got dressed, got in our cars —

smo ustali, obukli se, seli u svoja kola -

three separate cars

tri odvojena automobila

because we were going to go to work

jer smo išli na posao

after the doctor's appointment to find out what happened to the wrist.

nakon sastanka sa doktorom kako bismo otkrili šta se dogodilo sa zglobom.

We walked into the neurologist's office, sat down,

Ušli smo u kancelariju neurologa, seli,

four doctors walk in,

četiri doktora je ušetalo,

and the head neurologist sits down.

i glavni neurolog je seo.

And he says, "Well, Pete, we've been looking at all the tests,

Rekao je: "Pit, posmatrali smo sve testove,

and I have to tell you, it's not a sprained wrist,

i moram da ti kažem, da nije iščašen zglob,

it's not a broken wrist,

nije polomljen zglob,

it's not nerve damage in the wrist,

nije oštećenje nerava u zglobu,

it's not an infection,

nije infekcija,

it's not Lyme disease."

nije Lajmova bolest."

And there was this deliberate elimination going up,

Dok se nizala ova detaljna eliminacija,

and I was thinking to myself,

razmišljala sam,

where is he going with this?

gde ide sa ovim?

Then he put his hands on his knees,

Onda je stavio ruke na kolena,

he looked right at my 27-year-old kid, and said,

pogledao je direktno u mog 27-godišnjeg sina, i rekao:

"I don't know how to tell a 27-year-old this:

"Ne znam kako da kažem ovo 27-godišnjaku:

Pete, you have ALS."

Pite, imaš ALS."

ALS?

ALS?

I had had a friend whose 80-year-old father had ALS.

Imala sam prijateljicu čiji je 80-godišnji otac imao ALS.

I looked at my husband, he looked at me,

Pogledala sam muža, on je pogledao mene,

and then we looked at the doctor, and we said, "ALS?

a onda smo pogledali doktora i rekli: "ALS?

Okay, what treatment? Let's go.

Okej, koji je tretman? Hajde.

What do we do? Let's go."

Šta treba da radimo? Hajde."

And he looked at us, and he said, "Mr. and Mrs. Frates,

Pogledao nas je i rekao: "Gospođo i gospodine Frejtis,

I'm sorry to tell you this,

žao mi je što ovo kažem,

but there's no treatment and there's no cure."

ali nema tretmana, jer nema leka."

We were the worst culprits.

Bili smo najgori osuđenici.

We didn't even understand

Nismo čak ni shvatili

that it had been 75 years since Lou Gehrig

da je prošlo 75 godina od Lua Geriga

and nothing had been done in the progress against ALS.

i ništa se nije urađeno u napretku borbe protiv ALS-a.

So we all went home, and Jenn and Dan

Svi smo se vratili kući, i Džen i Den

flew home from Wall Street,

su odleteli avionom kući sa Vol Strita,

Andrew came home from Charlestown,

Endru je došao kući iz Čarlstauna,

and Pete went to B.C. to pick up

a Pit je otišao u Britansku Kolumbiju da pokupi

his then-girlfriend Julie and brought her home,

svoju datašnju devojku Džuli i vrati je kući,

and six hours later after diagnosis,

i šest sati kasnije nakon dijagnoze,

we're sitting around having a family dinner,

sedeli smo za stolom na porodičnoj večeri,

and we're having small chat.

i razgovarali.

I don't even remember cooking dinner that night.

Čak se i ne sećam šta sam kuvala te noći.

But then our leader, Pete, set the vision,

Onda je naš vođa Pit postavio viziju

and talked to us just like we were his new team.

i govorio nam kao da smo mi njegov tim.

He said, "There will be no wallowing, people."

Rekao je: "Nema žaljenja, ljudi."

He goes, "We're not looking back,

Nastavio je: "Ne gledamo nazad,

we're looking forward.

gledamo napred.

What an amazing opportunity we have to change the world.

Kakvu divnu priliku imamo da promenimo svet.

I'm going to change the face

Promeniću izgled

of this unacceptable situation of ALS.

ove neprihvatljive situacije ALS-a.

We're going to move the needle,

Pokrenućemo stvari

and I'm going to get it in front of philanthropists like Bill Gates."

i dospeću ispred filantropa poput Bil Gejtsa."

And that was it. We were given our directive.

I to je bilo to. Dobili smo uputstva.

So in the days and months that followed,

U narednim danima i mesecima,

within a week, we had our brothers and sisters

u nedelju dana imali smo braću i sestre

and our family come to us,

i našu porodicu kod nas u domu,

that they were already creating Team Frate Train.

tako da su uveliko stvarali Tim Frejti.

Uncle Dave, he was the webmaster;

Ujak Dejv je bio internet profesionalac,

Uncle Artie, he was the accountant;

ujak Arti je bio knjigovođa;

Auntie Dana, she was the graphic artist;

ujna Dejna je bila grafički umetnik;

and my youngest son, Andrew,

a moj najmlađi sin, Endru,

quit his job, left his apartment in Charlestown

nakon što je napustio posao i svoj stan u Čarlstaunu

and says, "I'm going to take care of Pete and be his caregiver."

rekao je: "Ja ću se brinuti o Pitu i biti njegov negovatelj."

Then all those people, classmates, teammates,

Potom su svi ti ljudi, drugari iz škole i saigrači,

coworkers that Pete had inspired

kolege koje je Pit inspirisao

throughout his whole life,

tokom čitavog svog života,

the circles of Pete all started intersecting with one another,

Pitovi krugovi su počeli da se ukrštaju jedan sa drugim,

and made Team Frate Train.

i načinili su Tim Frejti.

Six months after diagnosis,

Šest meseci nakon dijagnoze

Pete was given an award at a research summit for advocacy.

Pit je dobio nagradu za zalaganje na istraživačkom skupu.

He got up and gave a very eloquent speech,

Ustao je i održao veoma elokventan govor,

and at the end of the speech, there was a panel,

i na kraju govora održana je panel diskusija

and on the panel were these pharmaceutical executives

i na panelu su bili farmacetuski rukovodioci,

and biochemists and clinicians

biohemičari i kliničari

and I'm sitting there and I'm listening to them

i sedim tamo i slušam ih

and most of the content went straight over my head.

i najviše tog sadržaja mi je bilo preko glave.

I avoided every science class I ever could.

Izbegavala sam svaki čas biologije koji sam ikada mogla.

But I was watching these people, and I was listening to them,

Posmatrala sam te ljude i slušala sam ih,

and they were saying, "I, I do this, I do that,"

i govorili su: "Ja, ja radim ovo, ja radim ono,"

and there was a real unfamiliarity between them.

i postojala je istinska nepovezanost među njima.

So at the end of their talk, the panel,

Na kraju njihovog razgovora

they had questions and answers,

imali su pitanja i odgovore

and boom, my hand went right up,

i bum, moja ruka se podigla,

and I get the microphone,

i uzela sam mikrofon,

and I look at them and I say, "Thank you.

pogledala sam ih i rekla: "Hvala vam.

Thank you so much for working in ALS.

Mnogo vam hvala što radite na ALS-u.

It means so very much to us."

Veoma nam znači to."

I said, "But I do have to tell you

Rekla sam: "Ali moram da vam kažem

that I'm watching your body language

da posmatram vaš govor tela

and I'm listening to what you're saying.

i slušam šta govorite.

It just doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of collaboration going on here.

Nekako mi se ne čini da se ovde ne dešava baš puno saradnje.

And not only that, where's the flip chart

I ne samo to, gde je papir

with the action items and the follow-up and the accountability?

sa akcionim stavkama, pratećim koracima i odgovornostima?

What are you going to do after you leave this room?"

Šta ćete da uradite kada napustite ovu prostoriju?

And then I turned around

Potom sam se okrenula

and there was about 200 pairs of eyes just staring at me.

i bilo je oko 200 pari očiju uprtih u mene.

And it was that point that I realized

To je bila tačka gde sam shvatila

that I had talked about the elephant in the room.

da sam govorila o problemu o kom se ćutalo.

Thus my mission had begun.

Tu je moja misija započela.

So over the next couple of years,

Tokom nekoliko godina,

Pete — we've had our highs and our lows.

imali smo uspone i padove sa Pitom.

Pete was put on a compassionate use drug.

Pit je stavljen na samilosno korišćenje lekova.

It was hope in a bottle for the whole ALS community.

To je bila nada za čitavu ALS zajednicu.

It was in a phase III trial.

Bio je pokušaj faze 3.

Then six months later, the data comes back: no efficacy.

Šest meseci kasnije, podaci su se vratili: bez efekta.

We were supposed to have therapies overseas,

Trebalo je da imamo terapije preko okeana,

and the rug was pulled out from under us.

i tlo pod nogama nam se izmicalo.

So for the next two years,

Naredne 2 godine,

we just watched my son be taken away from me,

posmatrali smo kako nam oduzimaju sina,

little by little every day.

malo po malo svakog dana.

Two and a half years ago,

Pre dve ipo godine,

Pete was hitting home runs at baseball fields.

Pit je postizao uspehe na bejzbol terenima.

Today, Pete's completely paralyzed.

Danas je Pit totalno paralizovan.

He can't hold his head up any longer.

Ne može više da drži glavu uspravljeno.

He's confined to a motorized wheelchair.

Osuđen je na motorna kolica.

He can no longer swallow or eat.

Ne može više da guta i jede.

He has a feeding tube.

Ima cev za hranjenje.

He can't speak.

Ne može da govori.

He talks with eye gaze technology

Govori pomoću tehnologije pokretanja očiju

and a speech generating device,

i sprave za stvaranje govora,

and we're watching his lungs,

i posmatramo njegova pluća

because his diaphragm eventually is going to give out

jer će mu dijafragma verovatno otkazati

and then the decision will be made to put him on a ventilator or not.

i biće odlučeno da li će ga staviti na ventilator ili ne.

ALS robs the human of all their physical parts, but the brain stays intact.

ALS zarobljuje čoveka u svim fizičkim delovima, ali mozak ostaje netaknut.

So July 4th, 2014,

Dakle, 4. jula 2014. godine,

75th year of Lou Gehrig's inspirational speech comes,

desio se inspirativni govor 75-godišnjeg Lua Geriga,

and Pete is asked by MLB.com to write an article in the Bleacher Report.

i uredništvo sajta MLB.com je pitalo Pita da napiše članak u Bličer Riportu.

And it was very significant, because he wrote it using his eye gaze technology.

I bio je veoma značajan, jer ga je napisao koristeći tehnologiju pomeranja očiju.

Twenty days later, the ice started to fall.

Dvadeset dana kasnije, led je počeo da pada.

On July 27th, Pete's roommate in New York City,

27. jula, Pitov cimer iz Njujorka,

wearing a Quinn For The Win shirt,

noseći majicu sa natpisom "Kvin do pobede",

signifying Pat Quinn, another ALS patient known in New York,

označavajući Peta Kvina, drugog ALS pacijenta iz Njujorka,

and B.C. shorts

i B.C. šorc

said, "I'm taking the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge,"

rekao je: "Prihvatam ovaj ALS izazov"

picked up the ice, put it over his head.

podigao led i prelio ga preko glave.

"And I'm nominating ..." And he sent it up to Boston.

"I nominujem...", i to poslao u Boston.

And that was on July 27th.

To je bilo 27. jula.

Over the next couple of days, our news feed

Tokom nekoliko narednih dana, naša naslovna stranica

was full of family and friends.

je bila puna porodice i prijatelja.

If you haven't gone back, the nice thing about Facebook

Ako se niste vratili unazad, dobra stvar oko Fejsbuka je

is that you have the dates, you can go back.

da imate datume i možete da se vratite unazad.

You've got to see Uncle Artie's human Bloody Mary.

Morate da vidite ujka Artijev ljudski Bladi meri.

I'm telling you, it's one of the best ones,

Uveravam vas, to je jedan od najboljih,

and that was probably in day two.

i verovatno je snimljen drugog dana.

By about day four, Uncle Dave, the webmaster,

Oko četvrtog dana, ujka Dejv, veb profesionalac

he isn't on Facebook,

on nije na Fejsbuku,

and I get a text from him, and it says, "Nancy,

dobila sam poruku od njega u kojoj piše: "Nensi,

what the hell is going on?"

šta se zaboga dešava?"

Uncle Dave gets a hit every time Pete's website

Ujka Dejv dobija obaveštenje svaki put kad neko ode

is gone onto, and his phone was blowing up.

na Pitov sajt, a njegov telefon je goreo.

So we all sat down and we realized,

Onda smo se svi okupili i shvatili,

money is coming in — how amazing.

novac se sliva - sjajno.

So we knew awareness would lead to funding,

Znali smo da osvešćenje vodi do finansiranja,

we just didn't know it would only take a couple of days.

samo što nismo znali da se to dogodilo u nekoliko dana.

So we got together, put our best 501(c)(3)s on Pete's website,

Svi smo se skupili, stavili svoje najbolje formulare na Pitov vebsajt,

and off we went.

i tako je krenulo.

So week one, Boston media.

Prve nedelje, Bostonski mediji.

Week two, national media.

Druge nedelje, nacionalni mediji.

It was during week two that our neighbor next door

Tokom druge nedelje naš komšija vrata do nas

opened up our door and threw a pizza

je otvorio vrata i bacio picu

across the kitchen floor, saying,

preko kuhinjskog poda, govoreći:

"I think you people might need food in there."

"Mislim da će vam tamo trebati hrane."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Week three, celebrities — Entertainment Tonight,

Treće nedelje, zvezde - Entertejnment Tunajt,

Access Hollywood.

Akses Holivud.

Week four, global — BBC, Irish Radio.

Četvrte nedelje, globalno - Bi Bi Si, Ajriš Radio.

Did anyone see "Lost In Translation"?

Da li je neko gledao "Izgubljene u prevodu"?

My husband did Japanese television.

Moj muž je gostovao na japanskoj televiziji.

It was interesting.

Bilo je zanimljivo.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And those videos, the popular ones.

Svi ti popularni video klipovi.

Paul Bissonnette's glacier video, incredible.

Ledeni video Pola Bizoneta, neverovatno.

How about the redemption nuns of Dublin?

Šta kažete na opatice u Dablinu?

Who's seen that one?

Ko je video taj?

It's absolutely fantastic.

Fenomenalan je.

J.T., Justin Timberlake.

Džej Ti, Džastin Timberlejk.

That's when we knew, that was a real A-list celebrity.

To su oni za koje smo tada znali, to su bile zvezde sa A liste.

I go back on my texts, and I can see

Kada se vratim u svoje poruke mogu da pronađem

"JT! JT!" My sister texting me.

"Džej Ti! Džej Ti!" Moja sestra mi šalje.

Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany.

Angela Merkel, nemačka kancelarka.

Incredible.

Neverovatno.

And the ALS patients,

ALS pacijenti,

you know what their favorite ones are, and their families'?

znate li koji su omiljeni klipovi njima i njihovim porodicama?

All of them.

Svi.

Because this misunderstood and underfunded "rare" disease,

Jer su podlegli ovoj neshvaćenoj, potcenjenoj i "retkoj" bolesti,

they just sat and watched people saying it over and over: "ALS, ALS."

samo su sedeli i gledali ljude kako govore iznova i iznova: "ALS, ALS."

It was unbelievable.

Bilo je za ne poverovati.

And those naysayers,

I za sve one koji nisu verovali,

let's just talk a couple of stats, shall we?

hajde da pomenemo nekoliko statistika.

Okay, so the ALS Association,

ALS udruženje

they think by year end, it'll be 160 million dollars.

smatra da će do kraja godine skupiti 160 miliona dolara.

ALS TDI in Cambridge,

ALS TDI u Kembridžu,

they raised three million dollars.

je sakupio 3 miliona dolara.

Well, guess what?

Znate šta?

They had a clinical trial for a drug that they've been developing.

Imali su kliničko isprobavanje za lek koji su razvijali.

It was on a three-year track for funding.

Bilo je trogodišnje finansiranje.

Two months.

Dva meseca.

It's coming out starting in two months.

Izlazi za dva meseca.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

And YouTube has reported

Jutjub je izvestio

that over 150 countries have posted Ice Bucket Challenges for ALS.

da je preko 150 zemalja postavilo Ledeni izazov za ALS.

And Facebook, 2.5 million videos,

A Fejsbuk - 2,5 miliona video snimka,

and I had the awesome adventure

a ja sam imala sjajnu avanturu

visiting the Facebook campus last week,

tokom posete kampusa Fejsbuka prošle nedelje,

and I said to them, "I know what it was like in my house.

i rekla sam im: "Znam kako je bilo u mojoj kući.

I can't imagine what it was like around here."

Ne mogu da zamislim kako je to izgledalo ovde."

All she said was, "Jaw-dropping."

Samo je rekla: "Fascinantno".

And my family's favorite video?

Omiljeni video moje porodice?

Bill Gates.

Bil Gejts.

Because the night Pete was diagnosed,

Jer u noć kada je Pitu dijagnostikovana bolest,

he told us that he was going to get ALS in front of philanthropists like Bill Gates,

rekao je da će istaći ALS ispred filantropa poput Bila Gejtsa.

and he did it.

I uspeo je.

Goal number one, check.

Svetski broj jedan, obavljeno.

Now on to the treatment and cure.

Sada sledi tretman i nega.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

So okay, after all of this ice,

U redu, nakon svog ovog leda,

we know that it was much more

znamo da je tu mnogo više

than just pouring buckets of ice water over your head,

od samog polivanja kofom ledene vode preko glave,

and I really would like to leave you

i volela bih da vas napustim

with a couple of things that I'd like you to remember.

sa nekoliko stvari koje bih volela da zapamtite.

The first thing is,

Prva stvar je

every morning when you wake up,

da svako jutro kada se probudite

you can choose to live your day in positivity.

možete da birate da živite svoj dan pozitivno.

Would any of you blame me

Da li bi me iko od vas krivio

if I just was in the fetal position

da sam bila u fetalnoj poziciji

and pulled the covers over my head every day?

i povlačila prekrivač preko glave svakog dana?

No, I don't think anybody would blame me,

Ne, ne mislim da bi me iko krivio,

but Pete has inspired us to wake up

ali Pit nas je inspirisao da se probudimo

every morning and be positive and proactive.

svakog jutra i budemo pozitivni i proaktivni.

I actually had to ditch support groups

Morala sam da odbacim grupe podrške

because everybody was in there saying that

jer je svaka bila tu govoreći

spraying their lawns with chemicals,

da je prskanje svojih dvorišta hemikalijama

that's why they got ALS,

razlog zbog kojeg su dobili ALS,

and I was like, "I don't think so,"

a ja sam im odgovorila: "Ne bih se složila."

but I had to get away from the negativity.

ali sam morala da pobegnem od negativnosti.

The second thing I want to leave you with

Druga stvar sa kojom sam želela da vas napustim

is the person at the middle of the challenge

je da osoba u sred izazova

has to be willing to have the mental toughness

mora da bude voljna da poseduje psihičku snagu

to put themselves out there.

da se izmesti odatle.

Pete still goes to baseball games

Pit i dalje ide na bejzbol utakmice

and he still sits with his teammates in the dugout,

i još uvek sedi sa svojim saigračima u zemunicama

and he hangs his gravity feed bag

i drži svoju kesu za hranjenje

right on the cages.

na svojim plućima.

You'll see the kids, they're up there hanging it up.

Videćete tu decu, tu su.

"Pete, is that okay?" "Yup."

"Pite, jel' ovako u redu?" "Da"

And then they put it right into his stomach.

I stave mu je na stomak.

Because he wants them to see what the reality of this is,

Jer želi da vide koja je stvarnost ovoga,

and how he's never, ever going to give up.

i kako nikada neće odustati.

And the third thing I want to leave you with:

I treća stvar sa kojom želim da vas napustim:

If you ever come across a situation

Ako se ikada nađete u situaciji

that you see as so unacceptable,

koju vidite kao neprihvatljivu,

I want you to dig down as deep as you can

želim da kopate unutar sebe što više možete

and find your best mother bear

i nađete najbolju stvar

and go after it.

i streimte ka tome.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

I know that I'm running over,

Znam da prelazim vreme,

but I've got to leave you with this:

ali moram da vas ostavim i sa ovime:

the gifts that my son has given me.

pokloni koje mi je dao sin.

I have had 29 years

Imala sam priliku da 29 godina

of having the honor of being the mother

budem počastvovana što sam majka

of Pete Frates.

Pita Frejtisa.

Pete Frates has been inspiring and leading his whole life.

Pit Frejts je inspirisao i bio lider čitavog svog života.

He's thrown out kindness,

Pružio je dobrotu,

and all that kindness has come back to him.

i sva ta dobrota mu se vratila.

He walks the face of the Earth right now and knows why he's here.

Trenutno šeta po Zemlji i zna zašto je ovde.

What a gift.

Kakav poklon.

The second thing that my son has given me

Druga stvar koju mi je sin poklonio

is he's given me my mission in life.

je da mi je dao misiju u životu.

Now I know why I'm here.

Sada znam zašto sam ovde.

I'm going to save my son,

Spasiću svog sina

and if it doesn't happen in time for him,

i ako se to ne desi na vreme

I'm going to work so that no other mother

potrudiću se da nijedna majka

has to go through what I'm going through.

ne mora da prolazi kroz ono što sam ja.

And the third thing, and last but not least

I treća stvar, poslednji ali ne i beznačajan

gift that my son has given me,

poklon koji mi je sin dao,

as an exclamation point

kao uzvičnik

to the miraculous month

na fantastičan mesec

of August 2014:

avgust 2014: devojka sa kojom je izašao

That girlfriend that he went to get on the night of diagnosis is now his wife,

te noći kad je dijagnostikovan je sada njegova žena,

and Pete and Julie have given me my granddaughter, Lucy Fitzgerald Frates.

i Pit i Džuli su mi podarili unuku, Lusi Ficdžerald Frejtis.

Lucy Fitzgerald Frates came two weeks early

Lusi Ficdžerald Frejtis je došla na svet dve nedelje ranije

as the exclamation point

kao uzvičnik

on August 31st, 2014.

31. avugsta 2014. godine,

And so —

I -

(Applause) —

(Aplauz)

And so let me leave you with Pete's words of inspiration

Dozvolite mi da vas napustim sa Pitovim inspirativnim rečima

that he would use to classmates, coworkers and teammates.

kojima bi se obraćao svojim drugarima iz škole, kolegama i saigračima.

Be passionate.

Budite strastveni.

Be genuine.

Budite jedinstveni.

Be hardworking.

Budite vredni.

And don't forget to be great.

I ne zaboravite da budete sjajni.

Thank you. (Applause)

Hvala vam. (Aplauz)
