My friend has a 10 yr old grandson

[SoCalDem]

At the Christmas festivities, the talk turned to the kids..

It's been a tough couple of years for her grandson.. He weathered his 1st relapse of leukemia (he was first diagnosed at age 4).

He went into remission a few months into treatment back then, but it came back..He's in remission again but this time he is older and knows more about the disease..

Anyway someone started a round of kid questions, and misty eyes soon happened..

He was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up.. His answer.. a grandpa..

1. I hope he lives a long, long time, dying in his bed in his eightes or so.

3. What an answer.

May he get his desire and never suffer from anymore cancers of any kind.

4. I hope he at least makes it to

being a father

7. That hurts my heart ...

I have a grand daughter w/ a life threatening disease (juvenile dermatomyelitis) - the insightfulness and wisdom these kids develop dealing with their illness is sometimes amazing and sometimes wrenching to behold!

May they both live to be grands.

9. I'm going to cry. Seriously.

The most important thing in my life is my 2 grandchildren. I couldn't fathom going through that and my heart goes out to all involved. Especially the kid. And I only hope he has a chance to see his dream complete because being a grandpa is the bestest thing ever. (I'm going to weep now, thanks).
