So you really believe that he came to this idea all by himself and that his parents actually tried to discourage him? Really?

Yes

Fair enough - I guess we'll have to agree to disagree then. I don't believe a 10-year-old is capable of making these types of decisions and implementing them completely on his own.

Particularly not a 10-year old who lives with his family in a town 625 miles away from the hospice. The Heldreths make their home in Kannapolis, NC. Joshua did not drive himself to Pinellas Park.

How many 10 yr olds do you know? My 7 yr old has an amazing vocabulary and an amazing compassion and need to see right done. She's much more of a go-getter than I am.
She would definitely have marched over there to give Terri a drink.. she listens to the news, she has her own ideas independent of me.. all I've done is give her the basic Christian values, where she takes them is up to her.
In some ways she's a better Christian than I am sometimes..
