We did meet a special new friend last weekend. Brayden, a seven year old boy battling Leukemia at the Children’s Hospital in Atlanta.
“He’s a huge Star wars and Clone wars fan. He was given box seats to a Braves game, but the day of he informed his mom that he could not go because it was the premier of the second season of Clone Wars. So they stayed home to watch the premier and after switched over and finished watching the braves game on TV”
His energy amazed us and he really brightened our evening.
