WOW what a weekend! William has been surrounded by so much love, laughter, and pure joy!
Thanks to several different organizations, The Pasadena Ronald McDonald House has been overflowing with fun activities and yummy buffet-style meals all weekend.
As you already know, William spent Friday with some of the local firefighters. Well, last night, a different group of fire fighters showed up and took William out for dessert :) As you can imagine, William is thriving with all of the "mucho guy" attention and is extremely proud of the fact that he has now not only been on the Fire Engine but also the Fire Truck! Kevin, a Captain from the Fire department is a cancer survivor and his treatment consisted of 35 rounds of radiation and the marking tattoos. Upon hearing about William's upcoming radiation, William's fear of needles and William's anxiety associated with the tattoo process, Kevin had an extremely comforting conversation with William. Kevin's words of encouragement and personal experience soothed a lot of William's fears and even somehow managed to elicit some newfound excitement about the marking tattoos. ;) Thank you Kevin - Your words were a much needed balm for William's raw fears.
To the entire crew with Engine and Truck 31 - You are truly amazing - Your interest in William has given him the jolt of energy needed to face his upcoming treatment with determination, courage and a big smile - THANK YOU!
This is William's journey, we will keep on keepin' on with God in our hearts and courage in our souls.
