That part was the part that really got me.

It's one way he's become "a little activist," as his parents call him. For his last two birthday parties, he's asked friends to bring donations for ALS research instead of gifts — and raised more than $350 last year.

when you hear things like this you just want to meet these people and hug them tight.

That is one of the saddest things I have ever read...it goes without saying that, more than all the money, beauty, etc in the world, nothing matters if you don't have your health.

That kid is soooo strong... I'm 20 and my moms 40 and got systematic lupus and I still cry about it, and I still can't come to terms with it... I feel that story to my heart. That boy has sooooo much courage. Awww I want to give them hugz!

Thanks for the disclaimer, Raerae, because I totally did cry just now.

Stories like that break my heart. I cannot even imagine what her family is going through, knowing the clock is ticking at such an accerlerated rate like that. It really makes you want to re-examine your own priorities towards family.

I don't want to read it....I'm living it now...My sister passed last month and my mom and I are helping my BIL raise their 3 kids. It's so hard to not break down on a daily basis....
