First off, for sending off that young man. I have 5 kids of my own and anytime I have the chance to visit kids in the hospital I am a big giant ball of goo in my helmet. I can't imagine what these parents go through but I do my best to make these kids forget their worries for a few moments. Definitely makes me appreciate what I have and puts things into prospective. I would pick a hospital troop over a con troop any day.
