I have a little friend.
His name is Zach.
He has embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (cancer).
His tumor is in the chest cavity on the right, back side and lung.
Zach just finished 2nd grade, he is 9 years old.
I've never met a braver kid. And his mom, she's like a rock.
You've never met stronger people.
Zach's dad is not really in his life.
He has two older sisters who love him dearly.
Zach loves critters. He has birds, cats, I think I saw a dog there, hamsters, and I think a reptile or two. He collects coins. Has a huge car collection. And is a typical boy, with the exception of the fact that he's been forced into some kind of maturity due to what he's had to go through.
Zach loves visitors, and gifts (I give him one a week), and hates hospital food.
He's been in treatment for a couple of months now.
Chemo & now radiation, each and everyday.
He seems to almost be proud of him wounds.
And although I have nothing to do with his upbringing, I am proud of him.
What a cool kid.
He has a caring bridge page, that I'm sure he'd love if you signed.
Read it. And remember their battle. Not only should you pray for him each & everyday. But you should think about what they're going through. Squeeze your kiddos a little tighter. Tell you spouse you love him when you go to bed. And remember how precious life is.
