I was listening to the radio today at work like I do every day. A caller was asking for help, but what he was asking for has little to do with this post. He started his story, and could barely talk about it. He was obviously in great emotional pain. He said that he lost his six year old son about four months ago. His son lost his fight with cancer. I sat there listening to this man talk about his son, and you could feel the pain in his voice.

This was right at the end of the day, just before 4pm when I leave. He was the last caller. It left me wondering about how I would feel if this happened to one of the boys I know. I know several kids a church and from Taekwondo that are just the coolest kids in the world. I can’t imagine how sad a situation it would be to watch one of them suffer with cancer. I’ve heard so much about the awsome work that goes on at St Jude Childrens Hospital. I listen to the telethon that 98 WSIX puts on each year, and I hear such stories about the strength that the kids have, and the spirit that they show. My heart goes out to them and to their parents. That has to be the hardest thing in the world to go through.

Some day we will hear about a cure. Untill then, lets make these kids as happy as we can. It’s the least we can do for them. They deserve whatever we can do for them.
