A kid I never met taught me something important today

My sister is a nurse at a St Jude's outpatient clinic. She posted this on Facebook:

..... after sticking the port of a little boy getting chemo today, I sent him to the treasure box to pick out a toy for himself. When he came back I noticed he was carrying a little beaded bracelet. He then walked over to me and said "Miss Kim, I decided to get this for you instead."

Wow. What an amazing kid. If he can be so great, I can try to be a better person.

Thats just awesome. Its really sad the things we complain about. Because usually there is someone right next door that has it so much worse. Thats a really cool story.

You don't know what I go through, I was forced to buy used games at Gamestop, you know how embarrassing that is?!?!!

Seriously though, that's an awesome story, wish that little man the best.

Children have an innate ability to care about other's feelings before their own... it's truly a shame that they grow out of that.

Yep. Children are truly honest with their feelings and thoughts. They are capable of amazing gestures of kindness (like we see here). But, they are brutally honest at other times.

It is truly gut wrenching to see and hear what these children go through at St Judes. Their strength and courage is amazing to me.

St Judes is my favorite charity.....and the one I give a lot to. The work they do for kids is incredible. I have known two families that needed their services. One of them lost their 9 month old to cancer....while the other has a 9 yo in remission. St Judes was a God Send to the families.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
