Last night a little boy died in our community, he had been fighting aggressive brain cancer for more than half his short four years and couldn't battle on any longer. His parents did all they could, even the most aggressive treatments, then when the cancer came back for the third time their son said to them "no more pokes" and they agreed, they treated him at home. I followed their journey through his mom's blog and on facebook never actually meeting any member of his family only attending fundraising functions here and there.
This morning as V and Liam were eating scrambled eggs I read the news of this little boy's passing and I physically crumbled in tears, my heart breaks for this family. I can not imagine his mother's pain, the sorrow his whole family feels. Tears have been near all day. Then I saw people start to post hurtful things on facebook this afternoon. Here's the thing, his parents made the best choice for THEIR family, why in the world would you judge them after their child JUST passed!??! It's been less than 24 hours!!! My heart breaks.
Lucky V, it's been a slow week at work so he had already taken the day off to spend with Liam. Liam was super happy to have an extra ~45 mins of sleep and woke up in cheerful jabber. I took a little personal time at lunch to go home and snuggle him extra close (he seemed super happy about it too!).
My plea to you is to snuggle your babies extra close today, they are a true gift and blessing from God.
RIP Sweet Child, you are with God where there is no cancer.
