A little boy's last wish

[Volinmem]

There is a story being shared on Facebook about a little boy with leukemia in Inglewood, Tn whose last wish is to meet Butch Jones. The story didn't give the boy's name, but it was supposedly on the news. I know there are some posters on here that have ties to the AD. Maybe someone can pull the right strings and get his story to CBJ. I know if it were my son, I would be hoping his last wish could come true. Mods, can we leave this in the FB Forum for a while? There are more posters that will see it here. Thanks in advance!

That's the type of story you absolutely hate to hear but absolutely want to hear the follow up and have it be a happy ending.

Puts a lot in perspective. God bless this little boy and his parents, you know they're going through hell. Hope and pray he gets his wish to meet CBJ

I hope this kid gets to meet BJ. I hate to see any kid sick like this. Prayers are going out for his healing.

I live in Englewood. I was wondering why there was a news channel here yesterday.

Shouldn't be any problem getting Butch to go see him.

This kid has already survived cancer, and now found out he has leukemia. That is a lot for a child and their family to go through.

Not to sound like an idiot but what is his prognosis, can he beat it? I will pray for him.

Butch bump

With a thread title of "last wish", I'm betting no.

 

[SmokinBob]

Butch bump again

Hate that for the kid. Prayers for him, and hope Butch gets to him.

I hope and pray that CBJ and a few VFLs can take time to make the Little General Neyland's wish come true!!

Praying for the little man!!!

I heard on the radio this morning that the little boy changed his wish from meeting Butch to beating Florida.

Bring the whole team out there.

Bring the whole team out there.

Absolutely!

 

[BigOrangeLoyalist]

Bring the whole team out there.

I'm sure Butch will go, and I'd bet he brings the captains along.

 

[LA vol7]

Praying for him. Bet he gets to meet Butch, and many more Vols!
