A Boy's generous wish....

...this is touching...

Eleven year old Brenden Foster died this day of Friday, 21 November 2008, but throughout this world he will be remembered always. His darkest hour was his brightest light. This is a story as much of his words as it is of his deeds.

His dying wish was to help the homeless. "They're probably starving, so give 'em a chance, food and water." It has become a national movement. He wasn't afraid to die. He had said that he just wanted to make a difference, before his time came. And he did!

Most kids with dying wishes mostly wish for a trip to disney land or something personal, he was kind to wish for something that would benefit others, shows a lot of maturity, in most cases it takes a personal tradgedy for people to realise whats important in life.

Dmighty. of course you are going to think differently when you are told that you will die soon, its human nature. I wish most adults would have the conviction that this boy had, may he rest in peace and his wishes fullfilled.

saw this news or saw his video. He's great, but was he the same person when he was not yet diagnosed?

Let give emphasize on the message, not the boy!

"dgoodrebel will always be the rebellious good one"
