Santa Claus grants dying boy final wish, dies in Santa's arms.

[Baby Punisher]

Truly heartbreaking.The story is very sad. I have been crying on and off since Monday. I have a 4-year-old, December 13th marked the 3rd year of my Father's death. Combine all three things and I have been a wreck. This hit very close to home. The child's last words of "Santa. can you help me?" were hauntingly beautiful. I have no doubt the child was hoping Santa could use his "magic" to make him better. From my point of view Santa did make it better. Santa made a dying boy's wish come true and helped him in his final moments on this earth. As painful as this story is I will ignore the naysayers that it did not happen because I don't believe humanity could be so cruel.

I am heart broken but, I would also like to add this observation. We don't know the background of the boy, his race his religion if he came from good or bad parents. And, it doesn't matter. We just know that he was a little boy who was about to die that loved Paw Patrol and he believed in Santa. Both he and Santa left a huge impression on the lives of many people that day from the family to the nursing staff to Santa himself. This story shows the goodness and compassion that still exists. This story will stay with me for a long time maybe forever.

This broke me down last night when I saw it.

My 5 year old brother has been struggling against leukemia since the end of last december, his diagnosis was christmas eve actually. This year has weighed on me so heavily, it feels like its been a decade since then and my perception of time feels warped around when it happened as opposed to other stuff from the last couple years

I am sorry to hear that, Hansen. No young child deserves to go through this, it's heartbreaking .. I wish your brother and family the best going forward.

As a Dad, deep down, it's my greatest fear for my young boys. This is a touching story.
