Brave Brennan....

About a month ago I read an article online about a young boy with cancer. His name is Brennan and his dream is to be a part of the Army and his wish came true on his tenth birthday. It was such an uplifting story so that day I "liked" his page on Facebook called Brennan's Brigade. Today,  I was browsing through the pictures on his page and wow this young man is truly inspiring. I had tears in my eyes just thinking of all the treatments this little boy has gone through in his young life. But in his pictures I can see a little twinkle in his eyes. I can tell his life is so much more than pain, treatments, doctors, and hospitals. He is a brave and courageous boy and at 10 years old  has already done so much more than the average person. Seeing him live life to the fullest reminds me that every single second of life should not be take for granted. All the little things I complain about day-to-day just seem so petty now. He doesn't let the cancer get in his way of enjoying his childhood. Brennan has cancer but cancer definitely does not have him. The enthusiasm and high-spirits of Brennan and the many children who are fighting cancer are an inspiration to my life. They are a blessing to have in this world.
