Batkid...



  You hear about all the bad happening in the world and very few stories about the good. Well, today I'm overwhelmed by a good no, WONDERFUL story out of San Francisco. A little boy, in remission from a 4 year battle with leukemia, has his wish to be BATMAN granted! Make-A-Wish is behind all of it and with the help of the City of San Francisco, it's resident volunteers and also the Mayor, the Police Chief and one of the Big local newspaper's the city was transformed into Gotham City and the kid saved it throughout the day from his enemies who were up to no good.

   As, I read the story I started to cry, because it's rare when people come together to do something truly selfless. For people to come out and take their time...for a major city to to embrace a boy and make his dream come true...that's simply wonderful! It brings the things we argue about into a stark reality! Life is short, and the small things we burden ourselves with aren't really worth it in the end. Not when we all could be gone tomorrow...so why not give up on the the unnecessary and give into living a full life?

   The City, the volunteers, and the MAKE-A-WISH Foundation all deserve a standing ovation for bringing joy to this kid who has fought so hard to these short 4 years of life. I pray that he gets 80 more!
