Ok - don't watch this unless you want to be sobbing. Poor Kid - and what a selfless thought.

7. It's hard to make sense of the fact |
|
That this amazing, selfless, life is gone too soon, while monsters get to live out their years.

14. I personally believe that kids like that, including the child of ten who |
|
is working to support his family because he noticed his mom 'struggling' are sent here to show us all how to live. They don't seem to live long but their goodness and example is eternal.

18. That idea really bothers me. |
|
People like him aren't "sent" here.....they are people who are raised right, have goodness in their heart but nevertheless get unlucky and sick.
He is a sick kid with a good heart, with hopes and dreams that he will never see fruit because of a disease. A totally physical disease. He is not some sort of human sacrafice whose purpose is too show us anything.
Either way, though, that freakin video almost made me cry and I don't almost cry at anything.

17. I have watched my own son pass on |
|
and after watching this I am confirmed of the fact that this little boy was speaking the language of 'the angels' , 'god', whatever people want to call it, even before he left his body. He already knows he is an angel, and his peace is a great peace that I know my own son understands now. hugs, its okay to cry, but this little boy has been wrapped up in a love that is unfathomable and infinite now.
