Nolan: The Legacy Of A Great Little Warrior
Nolan Ray has left an immense legacy on society. It is about that great little warrior who shook the world for his strength. Due to his moving life story, he ended up becoming, without wanting or knowing it, an emblematic child.
Somehow this little angel represents a tireless fight. The one that cannot always be unfortunately won. It is the visible face of all those brave boys who suffer from terminal chronic diseases. Those who fight day by day with all their might.
The case was made known by his mother, Ruth, who detailed with emotion and pride the last hours of her son. Of course, the story that brought out the greatness of his son made an impact worldwide. The boy, in the middle of his game, resigned himself to leaving the world without saying something very important to his mother.
For this reason, in this You Are Mom article we invite you to meet sweet Nolan. That boy who, like so many others, conquered heaven after leaving a lesson in love and courage on earth. An article in honor of all these gladiators in life.
Nolan: a story that deserves to be told
When Nolan was very young, a congestion worried his mother. Well, she could barely breathe, so Ruth did not hesitate to consult her doctor. But the news could not be more dire for this family: the child had a picture of Rhabdomyosarcoma.
In a very short time, this strange and aggressive type of cancer, took over Nolan Ray’s little body. He fought a battle in which he did not intend to give up, until the doctors struck again with some new bad news. The cancer had metastasized and was rapidly spreading throughout her body.
According to the medical corps, there was nothing left to do. Then, seeing her son suffer, Ruth started a conversation that would brand her forever. This, his last conversation with the boy, is the one he shared in his networks and they traveled the globe. Without a doubt, it is worth making it known.
The last words of Nolan, a warrior of law
– Ruth: Honey, it hurts when you breathe, doesn’t it?
– Nolan : Well, yes.
– A: You feel a lot of pain, don’t you, baby?
– N: Yes …
– A: Honey, this cancer thing is disgusting. You don’t have to keep fighting.
– N: Don’t I have to? But I’ll do it for you, mommy.
– R: Is that what you’ve been doing, fighting for mom?
– N: Well, yes.
– A: Nolan Ray, what is Mommy’s job?
– N: Protect me (with a big smile).
– A: I can’t do it here. The only way to stay safe is in heaven.
– N: Then I go to heaven and I start playing until you get there. Are you coming, right?
– A: Of course, you can’t get rid of Mommy so easily!
– N: Thanks mommy. I’m going to play with Hunter and Brylee and Henry.
Ruth, excited, went to the bathroom and, when she returned, found the doctors waiting for her with tears in their eyes. “Your son fell into a coma. He no longer feels pain, but he will not wake up again ”. The resigned mother did not move from her son’s side, assuming they were entering the home stretch.
And when he thought that the words he had uttered just now would be the last, Nolan opened his eyes. He returned with his last strength. Well, he didn’t want to leave without saying something very important with his last breath: “I love you mom . ” It was then that he closed his eyes for good.
Nolan and a legacy for mothers and children in equal circumstances
Nolan will be immortalized in the heart of every human being. For her purity and innocence in a hard time. For the gratitude and courage to his mother, also the generator of a loyal and infinite love. An inspiring example of struggle for many children who also face complex situations.
In the same way, Ruth deposited more than a grain of sand in the fight against cancer. Awareness and dissemination of the pathology and, especially, citizen collaboration were the objectives pursued. The initial kick was showing his warrior, the well-known “boy of the carpet”.
A rug that covered her son, fearful, while she took a shower. That same carpet that she now fears herself. Because now there was a void where a small and beautiful child was waiting for his mother.
For now, Ruth does not lower her arms or lose faith. On the one hand, it invites science to investigate more treatments so that no mother should bury a child. On the other hand, because he embraces the security that he will see his little angel again in that place where suffering does not exist. See you soon little great brave!
