Early Trick or Treating...

We did a little trick or treating a week early! We have some neighbors in our ward who have a four year old little boy who is in Dailey's primary class who has had cancer since he was 18 months old. The doctors gave him a few days left to live and so the family planned a week of holidays for him to experience and have before he passed away. Since we lived so close he came to our house. We carved pumpkins and had them lit when he came to our house. Our kids were excited to give him a teat along with some hot wheels cars! Than we were able to join in and walk with him!

This sweet little boy passed away the following week after his holiday festivities. Our kids have been praying for him and his family since he got sick and it has been a neat experience to witness the families faith and love through it all. They had so many long days in the hospital and so many when they were home just filled with all the things they had to do to keep up with medication and everything for their boy and through it all I watched as they never wavered in their testimony and fulfilled their church callings. She was out delivering visiting teaching assignments the day she had to drive to Seattle for another treatment. They have been such examples to me and my family and I am so grateful to have been able to know this little boy and their family!
