Here is a story that perhaps should make all of us reflect on our lives........................................

Boy that little guy could teach us a thing or two.What an amazing child,watching that little guy brought tears to a grown man.May he rest in peace and have a new beginning in a better place.I cant beleive the courage that little boy showed.Im totally stunned right now.Thanks Hodie.Sometimes we complain about nonsense,non-important stuff and then here's a child ready to leave this earth he was so recently put in and showing that kind of courage and thoughtfullness.

What a stunning Child.  What courage and love for others.  This was very touching and made me appreciate so much.  We take too much for granted.  May God hold him close to him always.  I was impressed with his mother's strength too.  I am sure he learned much from her.  May God bless her and her family as well.

Thank you for sharing.

The original interview I saw was more comprehensive talking with this young boy than this one posted above after his death. His wish was to "feed the homeless". 

Perhaps a few people will be humbled by his message and wish and his selflessness  -- truly amazing for such a young child suffering with an incurable cancer. He displayed an attitude to which more of us could aspire.....and perhaps the world would be a better place.
