9-year-old cancer patient asks for cards to celebrate 'last Christmas' early
"For most, Christmas comes the same time every year. But for 9-year-old Jacob Thompson, a cancer patient with Stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma, the festive day is arriving early — and it will be his last.
According to the GoFundMe page set up by Jacob's mother, the family admitted him to Barbara Bush Children's Hospital on October 11 with the understanding that he would pass away within a month."
"Jacob loves the holiday season," Thompson Simard said, "and we want him to know that Christmas wishes come true and that there are good people who care all around the world."

I will make him a card tomorrow and get it in the mail. My son was also nine years old when we were told he would not win his cancer battle. That is something that no parent should ever have to deal with and my heart goes out to his family. We transferred my son to the Mayo Clinic where extensive treatments and numerous additional surgeries saved him. He is 34 now and doing very well.
I will get my card in the mail tomorrow while still praying for a miracle for little Jacob.
