Liam

I just wanted to share a quick story about Liam. This boy as I mentioned before has become a source of strength for me. He amazes me with his compassion and insight.

We were driving home from the hospital when the following conversation took place:

Liam: "Mom, can I ask you a question?"
Me: "Of course. You know you can ask me anything and anytime."
Liam: "If you had 1 wish what would it be?"
Me: "That Mac would be healthy. You?"
Liam: " I would wish that there would be no such thing as a tumor or cancer so that no one would ever have to suffer from it."
Me: "Wow. You wish is way better than mine."

I just love this kid!

  1. What an awesome post! Great wish Liam! And Becky....this picture is my all time favorite. I remember the first communion well and everytime I see this picture my mind shrinks them and puts each one on a shoulder. "Do it!" "No Don't" Hee hee. Prayers still coming your way xoxo

  5. Becky, I am always delighted to hear a "Liam story". Your mother has shared so many of them with me over the years and they never cease to amaze me. I think Liam is the youngest philosopher I have ever known!
