Will is our old soul. Since he was little, he was always a source of calm and a voice of reason for his friends. His resolve is so inspiring. Instead of being pulled down by anger, Will has turned his journey into a story of hope. He insists we participate in Walk for Wishes to raise money for Make-a-Wish. In his words, he wants to make sure “every kid gets a wish” like he did. His heart is HUGE and during chemo he was asked on more than one occasion to talk to newly diagnosed children about his journey and he always focused on the good. We found out in September that Will’s tumor has been growing for the past year. But he takes this all in stride. At one point he told his mother he was glad he was the one with cancer instead of someone else in his family or another kid in the world. The best way to sum up Will’s heart is in telling you about the time we had to wait over 2 hours to see his neurologist. When he finally came in our room he told us he had been in surgery on a little 3-year-old girl. Will first asked if he needed a hug. Then he asked the doctor if the little girl knew she had the best neurosurgeon in the world. He asked if the little girl was going to be OK. Will promised the doctor we would pray for her and to let the family know he’s thinking about them all. That is who Will is.
