Folks, get the kleenex for this one. I just saw this in the news today, and oh boy, what a story for Christmas. Working in pediatrics, this definitely hit home, but I think anyone could appreciate the story.
Sam Venable: Santa grants a final wish
Folks, get out the kleenex for this one. A truly touching story about one little boy's Christmas experience this year. Maybe because I work in pediatrics, the article hit home for me, but I think anyone with a heart can appreciate this.

Wow.
What a beautiful thing Mr. Schmitt-Matzen did. What beautiful things he said to that little boy.
I'm at a loss for words....
Thanks for sharing that story, UrbanHealthRN.

I read an article stating that they couldn't verify the story. I hope it is true because it is so sweet.

That's what I've been reading, too ...his story does sound quite sensational- in every way. But if he is making it up, he's pretty convincing and should probably be nominated for an academy award.
I just checked online for updates as well, and nobody has been able to verify this story yet, though this man has definitely been Santa before. Not sure why he would want to make this particular story up.
People make up and exaggerate all sorts of weird things to "go viral" ...sadly.
