When I went to the doctor
he said I had cancer.
And the medicine was all the way in Toronto.
|
 |
My mommy and daddy cried.
So I told them
knock-knock jokes to make them happy again.
|
 |
This is my new home....
Toronto's Ronald McDonald House.
Inside are 28 families.
Some stay 10 days
or 10 months for a new heart or something.
|
 |
All the kids here are sick like me,
and all the grown-ups are worried.
|
 |
Mom says that when you meet strangers in this House
you go from strangers
to family really fast.
|
 |
I get invited to a lot of dinners.
But here's my rule...
if I can't pronounce it - I don't eat it - yuck!
|
 |
This is my bedroom.
It has butterflies all around because of a boy named Justin.
He said he was a butterfly.
|
 |
These are my best friends - nice hats!
|
 |
I play air hockey and paint - these are some of our drawings.
|
 |
This is my mom.
She shaved her head to look more like me.
Mom says now she has no more "bad hair days."
|
 |
This is my last day here
so the rest of these pages
are for all of the other kids who find their way here.
|
 |
Me?
I'm going back to my other home.
|
 |
But I'll be carrying memories I will never forget.
