> > > Like any parent, she wanted her son to grow up and fulfill all

> > > 
> > > The leukemia would see to that. But she still wanted her son's 
>dreams 
> > >to 
> > >come true. She took her son's hand and asked, "Billy, did you ever 
> > >think about what you wanted to be once you grew up? Did you ever 
> > >dream and 
>wish 
> > >what you would do with your life?" Mommy, "I always wanted to be a 
>fireman 
> > >when I grew up." Mom smiled back and said, "Let's see if we can make 
>your 
> > >wish come true." 
> > > 
> > > Later that day she went to her local fire department in Phoenix, 
> > >Arizona, where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as 
> > >Phoenix. She 
>explained 
> > >her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her 
> > >six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine. 
> > > 
> > > Fireman Bob said, "Look, we can do better than that. If you'll 
> > >have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make 
> > >him an 
>honorary 
> > >fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat 
>with 
> > >us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards! And if you'll 
>give 
> > >us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a real fire 
>hat - 
> > >not a toy one - with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, 
> 
> > >a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots. They're all 
> > >manufactured right here in Phoenix, so we can get them fast." 
> > > 
> > > Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his 
>fire 
> > >uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook 
> > >and ladder truck. Billy got to sit on the back of the truck and help 
> > >steer 
>it 
> > >back to the fire station. He was in heaven. 
> > > 
> > > There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day and Billy got to 
> > > go 
>out 
> > >on all three calls. He rode in the different fire engines, the 
>paramedic's 
> > >van, and even the fire chief's car. He was also videotaped for the 
> > >local news program. Having his dream come true, with all the love and 
>attention 
> > >that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy that he lived 
> > >three months longer than any doctor thought possible. 
> > > 
> > > One night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and 
> > >the head nurse, who believed in the hospice concept that no one 
> > >should die alone, began to call the family members to the hospital. 
> > >Then she remembered 
>the

> > >asked 
>if

> > > 
> > > The chief replied, "We can do better than that. We'll be there in 
>five 
> > >minutes. Will you please do me a favor? When you hear the sirens 
>screaming 
> > >and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system 
> > >that there is not a fire? It's just the fire department coming to see 
> 
> > >one of its finest

> > > 
> > > About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the

> > > 
> > > 16 firefighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room. 
> > > 
> > > With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and

> > > 
> > > "Billy, you are, and the Head Chief, Jesus, is holding your

>the
