This post is a response to the “End Times” blog post “The dying wish of a six year old boy is Granted.” The blog post is about a six year old boy Billy, who suffers from leukemia. Billy wanted to be a Fireman when he grows up, so his mother arranged for him to experience the day of a fireman with the help of fireman Bob.

One day Billy started to take a turn for the worst, Billy’s mom called the fire department to get a fireman to come to the hospital to be there with Billy. 16 firemen came and hugged Billy. Billy asked the fire chief “am I really a fireman now?” The chief replied “Billy, you are, and The Head Chief, Jesus, is holding your hand.” Billy’s last words were “I know, He's been holding my hand all day, and the angels have been singing.”

This is an inspiring story. It shows God at work. It’s sad that Billy had leukemia and died, but Billy was given the chance to live his dream. It also shows that firemen should be held in high regard and really respected. They are really in the business of saving lives. They have to be a special kind of person to be in the business of risking their own lives to save others. This story shows that type of person, that these fireman went out of their way, above and beyond to make a little boy’s dreams come true. There is one good thing about this story and that when Billy died, he got to see his dream come true, there are many old men and women that die and never see their dream come true.
