The [twenty-six-year-old] mother / looked down at her son /

who was dying of <span class='nw'>leukemia</span>. //

Her heart was filled with <span class='nw'>sadness</span>. //

Like any parent, / she kept thinking about her son’s future. //

She

wanted her son / to grow up and <span class='nw'>fulfill</span> all his dreams. //

Now that

was no longer possible, / but she still wanted her son’s dreams

to come true. //

She took her son’s hand and asked, / “<span class='nw'>Bopsy</span>, / did you ever

think about what you want to be / when you grow up? / Did you

ever dream / about what you want to do with your life?” //

“Mommy, / I’ve always wanted to be a <span class='nw'>firefighter</span>,” / he replied. //

His mother smiled back and said, / “Let’s see / if we can make

your dream come true.” //

Later that day, / she went to the local fire department / in

Phoenix, / <span class='nw'>Arizona</span>. //

She met Firefighter Bob there. //

She explained her son’s wish / and asked if it was possible /

to give him a ride on a fire <span class='nw'>engine</span>. //

Bob thought a while / about what he could do / and said, /

“Look, / we can do better than that. / Get your son ready / at seven

o’clock Wednesday morning. / We’ll make him an <span class='nw'>honorary</span>

firefighter / for the whole day. / He can come down to the fire

station, / eat with us, / and go out on all the fire calls. / And, / if you

give us his sizes, / we’ll get a real fire uniform / made for him.” //

Three days later, / Bob picked up Bopsy, / <span class='nw'>dressed</span> him in his

fire uniform / and <span class='nw'>escorted</span> him from his hospital bed / to the waiting

[<span class='nw'>hook</span>-and-<span class='nw'>ladder</span>] truck. //

Bopsy got to sit on the back of the truck /

when they went back to the fire station. //

He was in <span class='nw'>heaven</span>. //

There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day / and

Bopsy got to go out / on all three calls. //

He rode in the different

fire engines, / the <span class='nw'>paramedics</span>’ <span class='nw'>van</span> / and even the fire [<span class='nw'>chief</span> ’s] car. //

Bopsy’s dream came true / because of all the love and

attention / that was given to him. //

He was <span class='nw'>deeply</span> touched / by

what his parents and the firefighters did for him. //

He lived

three months longer / than any doctor thought possible. //

One night / all of his <span class='nw'>vital</span> signs began to drop <span class='nw'>dramatically</span>, /

so the head nurse called the family members to the hospital. //

She believed / that no one should die alone. //

She also called the fire chief. //

She asked / if a firefighter in

uniform / could come to the hospital / to be with Bopsy. //

The chief replied, / “We can do better than that. / We’ll be

there in five minutes. / Will you please do us a <span class='nw'>favor</span>? / When

you hear the <span class='nw'>sirens</span> coming / and see the lights <span class='nw'>flashing</span>, / will you

tell people / that there is not a fire? / Tell them / the fire

department is coming to see one of its finest members / one more

time. / And will you open the window in his room? / Thanks.” //

About five minutes later, / a [hook-and-ladder] truck arrived

at the hospital. //

It <span class='nw'>extended</span> its ladder / up to the open window

on the third floor, / and sixteen firefighters climbed up and into

Bopsy’s room. //

With his mother’s <span class='nw'>permission</span>, / they hugged him /

and held him / and told him how much they loved him. //

Bopsy looked up at the fire chief / and said, / “Chief, / am I

really a firefighter now?” //

“Bopsy, / you are,” / the chief said. //

Bopsy smiled / and closed his eyes / for the last time. //
