So today was just like so many others when it comes to the holiday season...more worrying over bills as I try to get everyone in my life nice gifts for the holidays. Top that off with recently breaking up with my ex of over 3 years and it tends to make a person a bit depressed around these suppose to be joyous times.

Cut to 15 minutes ago after watching the newest episode of BBC's Merlin...I come across a news video on Yahoo of an 11-year old boy named Brenden Foster who passed away this past Friday in his mothers arms. This young boy had been battling leukemia for awhile, and just recently was given two weeks to live. http://cbs11tv.com/health/Brenden.F......2.867696.html there is a link for you to see the whole story. The point is that this young boy in his dying days had only one final wish...to help some homeless people he seen on his way home from one of his many doctors appointments. He got that wish, as not only in his home town but all over the nation people took up Brenden's cause and got together to help those in need.

This story brought tears to my eyes, tears of sadness for the loss of such a caring person, and tears of anger at myself for worrying about such paltry stuff when on all accounts I have it going pretty good. My best wishes go out to Brenden's family and to those he wanted to help.

On a closing note, if you find yourself getting a bit over stressed this holiday season, please remember Brenden...and don't be afraid to ask for a hug from someone...I personally have been told i give some pretty fucking epic hugs...so big cyber equine hugs to you and yours this holiday season.
