My name is Terry, and my son TJ was diagnosed with cancer when he was just 6 years old. It was a whirlwind for our whole family. It’s the kind of thing you see on TV, but you never expect it to happen to your child. In an instant, he went from our little boy playing on the floor with blocks to being in the hospital and facing a terrifying diagnosis.
Ever since TJ was little, he’s always been fascinated by space. There was one song about planets that I could almost quote to you right now because he watched it all day, every day. I think he even slept with it on at night.
While TJ was in the hospital for his treatments, he would watch countless videos about space to take his mind off what he was going through. So when Make-A-Wish® came into our lives, he knew what his wish would be: to go to outer space. |
