Oh god, I'm a sucker for stories like that. Loved it. I work in cancer care right now as a nurse and see a lot of sick kiddos like this little boy. It's fucking heartwrenching, since nine times out of ten, they're super sweet and happy-go-lucky like they don't even know they have cancer. Makes you love them even more.
Big Bird was always awesome. I remember seeing that scene when they talk to him about Mr. Hooper's death and how they didn't sugarcoat it or make it unrealistic. Sesame Street did a good job of not talking down to kids.
There's definitely truth in what you say to children can be very important. It makes an impact.
Good story. Thanks for sharing.
It'll be awhile before I figure out how to do one of these. :P
