Dream come true: Her date presents Katelyn, who is suffering from terminal bone cancer, with a corsage
I have a good feeling that this boy might just end up being one hell of a man someday and make some woman a good husband.

I can't help but notice she a real 'girl' her date is a real 'boy' and he had the respect to dress properly for the occasion and nobody has tats or visable parts of their bodies with holes. WHAT IS THIS YOUNG GENERATION COMING TO?

But am a sure they have alerted the death panel to look into why she is being kept alive.

There’s a Rascal Flatts song called ‘Skin’ that kind of follows this story. This story and that song often seem to make things look blurry to me....

Really, you get that from this story no viable tats and piercing?
According to your statement if a person has a piercing or tats they are not real, that is just weird.

Thanks for post.
Made an old man cry.
There is still human kindness among us. Shame this must come from an English Newspaper.

It was you that said “real boy and real girl” then followed that by piercings and tats.
Not my issues if other people didn’t care to respond.
These were real kids doing a real thing, whether they had tats/piercings or not.

Angels are posted at this childs side. The Lord loves her greatly and will escort her to Paradise.
All the evil of the world shall soon pass away
it will give light to darkness, glory to suffering, and eternal peace for the truly blessed.
God speed little traveler, and you will soon see the face of Our Savior. I wish you eternal joy.
