A boy's last wish

Warning... this is a tear jerker. Get the kleenix.

I saw on Headline news a story that tugged at my heart. An 11 year old boy named Brendan who is dying of leukemia had a wish to feed the homeless. Click here to go to the news story of how he got his wish.

And click here to view a video report on the boy.

Seriously, get the kleenix.

Two things that touched me most...

His own words... "I had a great time and until my time has come, I'm gonna keep having a good time"

And his next wish... to be an angel in heaven to continue helping people.

Oh and he doesn't want you to cry for him. He doesn't want leukemia to get tears.

Go you must
No guest
Shall stay long
In one place forever
Love will be lost
If you sit too long
At a friend’s fire.
