Yesterday, we told you that a British father and Subaru owner is facing the very stark and devastating reality that his 11-year old son only has weeks left to live. He posted a note on a British Subaru forum saying he was planning a small car show in a week and would love for some cars to show up and brighten his son's day.

Car people are generally very cool.

Heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time.

Thanks for posting this great story.

This kind of reminds me of the Red Sovine song, "Teddy Bear".

Prayers up for the youngster and his family. And may God bless and protect all the selfless folks making the drive to be a part of this.

Wow...thanks so much for posting. Car people are used to sharing (”You got a 3/8” wrench I can borrow?”).

We all are going to die. Sometime.

When we do, it is not the ‘toys’ we own that we will take with us.

The only thing we get to take is WHAT WE DID FOR OTHERS.

I worked for 20 years in a major hospital located in a cluster of about a half dozen hospitals surrounding a medical school and research complex.My hospital didn't have a pediatric service because there was a major pediatric hospital literally next door.Until the day I die I'm glad I didn't have to watch kids suffer and die although watching adults do it ain't fun either.If I'm ever able to be face to face with my Creator (rather than His evil nemesis) I'm gonna ask Him why He allowed children to suffer and die.
