Something very worthwhile to do

A request to brighten a little boy's day.I have attached a link to Caring Bridge regarding a brave young boy, Peyton Ricker 7 yoa

who is suffering from an inoperable brain tumor. We made him an honorary

fireman and he reads posts on this site with his mom daily. Several HFD firefighters and others

have already made posts but I would like you to send the link to as many

of your contacts as possible so he knows we are praying for him.

Saturday we will be bringing Santa on the fire truck to his birthday

party (DOB: 12/06) with some gifts (he doesn’t know). We’ve already

given him a helmet, small gear and we had the mayor proclaim November

20, 2009 Peyton Ricker day in the City of Lake Jackson. When Peyton was told he was now our

brother he whispered to his father in his now faint and failing voice,

“THEY SAID I’M THEIR BROTHER” with small smile.

In the spirit of Christmas I ask everyone to take just a couple minutes of their time to

brighten this 7 year old brother firefighters day with just a few simple words, and to pray

that the hand of God guides him through his journey.

We have an amazing group of people that converse on this site that span’s the globe and I know

you will all come through.

Re: Something very worthwhile to do

"Thank you to all who sent gifts and notes to Peyton Ricker. He has gone home..

It is with a heavy heart that I tell you our little honorary brother

firefighter Peyton Ricker lost his fight with brain cancer this morning

and is now watching over us as a firefighter angel.

Thanks to all of you that passed on his information and who sent gifts,

words of hope and wisdom and most of all your prayers to Peyton and his

family.

Please keep his family in your prayers as God welcomes Peyton home.

God bless all of you!

Re: Something very worthwhile to do

Beach,

Learned this morning when I logged on. God has one very courageous little FF in his platoon now and I will continue to pray for his family’s strength. It was really sad news this morning.
