When a Superhero has Cancer
May 12th, 2010 by Mike Redding
Aunt Melly, a SASTP regular, sent me this one… It made me lose it. I cried through the last four or five paragraphs. This is what life is about… the dreams of those who deserve them most but have the least.
Grab a box of tissues and click here.
Thanks for posting this one… I knew it was your kind of story as soon as I read it. I believe these kinds of people are everywhere, we just don’t hear about them enough. I can only imagine the smile on Electron Boy’s face as he drifted off to sleep that night…and the next night…
So cool…
p.s. here is a follow up article… it explains more about Erik’s condition and how much hard work and “heart” work went into making his wish come true… amazing!
