  Summary

  To live life to the fullest, like you'll die the next day, is an accomplishment few manage to achieve, and to give your life for those you love - the ultimate sacrifice - is something that takes incredible courage. If something could be said for Lily Evans and James Potter, it was that they were very good at living, but they were also very good at dying.
