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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
