Remarkable children Runway has remarkable parent
so beautiful
Mr Cray your volunteering will motivate others, to do the same. I can't wait till we are all in Heaven. Never having to part again.
Apparently, hospitals do more than cause painful memories.. this father sees this hospital in a much more positive light.
Maybe, just maybe, a reporter should let the father "tell the story" in his own way.
Such a great soul he is. He is my super hero
Amazing ❤
This is so awesome ❤
The segment is called the best of us, and it only gets 2 and half minutes… do better. These things inspire people to do more and be better. We need more.
Sometimes this life gives by its right hand.
But takes it back by its left hand.
Lovely boy. Respectable parents.
What a GREAT father….tears of joy running down my face from seeing this. Your son is in the arms of the Angels and you have favour with God, love always ❤️!!
The best of us
Bless you sir ❤
This is heartbreaking and heartwarming at once.
❤
Thank you to this beautiful family 🙏🏼🙏🏼. What Grace. May God Bless Ian in heaven and his family here.
Ty Michael ❤❤❤
Bless him❤ I’m sure his son will still with him in spirit, what a beautiful story
Thank you Mike.
So shines a good deed in a weary world. This even warms my jaded heart. Thanks for all you do and the light you bring to people!!!
Such a beautiful soul lightning the light
Ian, the late 9 year old AUTHOR! ❤ God bless your eternal soul. As for this family’s testimony, amen and amen. The mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ endures forever
❤❤❤ Lovly ,man. Happy for him.
I loved that God put this story in my path, directly into my feed. My infant son passed last year and was in and out of st Christopher's hospital. Everytime we were there they treated us like family. He spent 2 weeks there in nicu and afterwards had numerous visits there for seizures caused by HIE. This man is truly inspiring, I'd love to volunteer there for those little angels still fighting
Such an amazing story about turning tragedy into positivity. CF is such a difficult disease and it doesn't get the attention it deserves. Try wearing one of HFCWO vests if you want to find out just 1 of the struggles these strong people go through. This man is one of the many unsung heroes. Wonderful reporting here and inspiring coverage.
Beautiful! What a great way to keep his son's memory alive and to make such a meaningful contribution. A wonderful act of kindness and humanity. ❤🙏
Michael thanks for your hard work sorry loss of your son
So much love in you all! God bless!
