Whether it is chemotherapy or taking medicine, he obediently cooperates with the doctor. He never cried or cried out in pain. When he sees his parents crying, he will smile to comfort and encourage them.
At the beginning of 20 14 10, Ethan's parents were told by the doctor that Ethan's condition was very bad, and his time in this world might only be two days or weeks. Sadly, Ethan's father Meryl decided to do everything possible to make Ethan live every day in his last days.
Father pretended not to be interested and asked Ethan what he wanted to do most. Ethan replied that he wanted to spend holidays at home happily like other children, such as Halloween, birthdays and Christmas. Ethan's words made Meryl burst into tears in an instant, because there are still three days before Halloween, and Ethan's birthday and Christmas are still one or two months away. He doesn't know if he has a chance to help his child realize his last wish.
Ethan's parents tried their best to take care of Ethan, and prayed that God would keep Ethan going for a while. At the same time, Merrill also appealed to Facebook, calling on people to help forward the news and let more people pray and bless Ethan. Overnight, the news that 4-year-old Ethan wanted to finish three festivals on his deathbed was circulated all over the Internet. At the same time, people are deeply moved by Ethan's attitude of actively fighting diseases and facing life optimistically, and all want to join Ethan's parents and fulfill their wishes for Ethan.
People decided to celebrate Ethan's festivals in advance because they were afraid that Ethan's body would not last long and he would not be able to experience these festivals. At first, the citizens held a 10 day Halloween activity for Ethan. On Halloween, people take turns pushing Ethan from house to house to play trick-or-treating.
Seeing that Ethan had a good time on Halloween, a few days later, the citizens decided to celebrate his birthday one month in advance. On the day of the celebration, Ethan dressed up as a superhero, and nearly a hundred people dressed up as Darth Vader and adventure hero Indiana? Jones and the piper accompanied him to the street parade. The first two festivals were held smoothly, which made the residents of the town very happy. They immediately began to organize a Christmas party for Ethan.
Ethan's parents posted photos of all the activities online. In every photo, Ethan has a sunny smile and looks very happy. Some netizens said: "Ethan is unfortunate, but at the same time he is very lucky-so many people care about him and love him." For a time, not only Ethan became an inspirational hero in people's hearts, but West Jordan also became synonymous with love.
Afterwards, someone asked inexplicably, why did West Jordan try his best to help a child realize his dream? A local citizen replied: "We helped Ethan realize his last wish mainly because we wanted him to remember that there is still love in the world when he goes to heaven, and the world loves him so much."
