>In Phoenix, Arizona, a 26-year-old mother stared down at her 6 year old
>son, who was dying of terminal leukemia. Although her heart was filled
>with sadness, she also had a strong feeling of determination. Like any
>parent, she wanted her son to grow up and fulfill
>all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible. The leukemia would see
>to that. But she still wanted her son's dreams to come true. She took
>her son's hand and asked, "Billy, did
>you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up? Did you
>ever dream
>and wish what you would do with your life?" Mommy, "I always wanted to
>be a fireman when I grew up." Mom smiled back and said, "Let's see if
>we can make your wish come
>true." Later that day she went to her local fire department in Phoenix,
>Arizona, where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix.
>She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to
>give her six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire
>engine.Fireman Bob said, "Look, we can do better than that. If you'll
>have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him
>an honorary fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire
>station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards!
>And if
>you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a
>real fire hat-not a toy one-with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire
>Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots.They're
>all
>manufactured right here in Phoenix, so we can get them fast." Three
>days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his fire uniform
>and escorted him from his hospital bed to the
>waiting hook and ladder truck. Billy got to sit on the back of the truck
>and help
>steer it back to the fire station. He was in heaven. There were three
>fire calls in Phoenix that day and Billy got to go out on all three
>calls. He rode in the different fire engines, the paramedic's van, and
>even the fire chief's car. He was also videotaped for the loca l news
>program. Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention
>that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy that he lived three
>months longer than any doctor thought possible. One night all of his
>vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed
>in the hospice concept that no one should die alone, began to call the
>family members to the hospital. Then she remembered the day Billy had
>spent as a fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and asked if it would
>be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the
>hospital to be with Billy as he made his transition. The chief replied,
>"We can do better than that. We'll be there in five minutes. Will you
>please do me a favor? When you hear the sirens screaming and see the
>lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is
>not a fire? It's just the fire department coming to see one of its
>finest members one more
>time; And will you open the window to his room?" About five minutes
>later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its
>ladder up to Billy's third floor open
>window. 16 firefighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room. With
>his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how
>much they loved him. With his dying breath, Billy looked up at the fire
>chief and said, "Chief, am I really a fireman now?" "Billy, you are,
>and the Head Chief, Jesus, is holding your hand," the chief said. With
>those words, Billy smiled and said, "I know, He's been holding my hand
>all day, and the angels have been singing." He closed his eyes one last
>time.
>My instructions were to send this to at least four people that I
>wanted God to bless and I picked you. Please pass this to at least four
>people you want to be blessed. This story is powerful and there is
>nothing attached, please do not break this pattern; uplifting stories
>are one of the best gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of
>rewards, let's continue to uplift one another.
