A Little Hero

Once upon a time, a little girl was ill in hospital with a rare blood disorder and was badly in need of a blood donor, but a match could not be found. So as a last resort, her six-year-old brother was checked as a match and much to everyone's relief he was  both his mother and doctor  sat the little boy down and explained  how they would like his blood to help his sister so she would not die  the little boy waited a few moments then  asked if he could think about it  
It wasn't the reaction the mother or doctor expected but they agreed, the following day the little boy sat in front of the doctor with his mother and said he agreed to give his sister what she needed. The hospital staff moved quickly, for his sister was fading quite fast so the little boy could understand what was happening he was placed in a bed next to his sister and so the transfusion began quickly the color and life began flooding back into the little girl and everyone was overjoyed the little boy then turned to the doctor  and quietly asked, “how long will it be before I die.”    
You see the little boy thought that by giving his blood he was giving his own life  which is why he took a little time to think about it. You see in life, in your life. When was the last time that you helped someone out, when was the last time that you were  truly selfless, when was the last time that you really lived your life took full risk and tackled the problem head on  be selfless be brave  be loving and be kind .
