(I have never before printed part of somebody's death notice. I never knew this kid but he sounds like he was a very cool young person.)
Isaac Hall didn't know that cancer is supposed to make you miserable.
The 8-year-old relished tractor rides, playing in the mud, messy crafts and practical jokes despite having leukemia.
He chose to see the positive side of everything, said his father, Air Force Tech. Sgt. Travis Hall of Bellevue. Instead of focusing on the spinal tap procedures he had to endure, Isaac looked forward to the Mountain Dew Code Red drinks he got afterwards, Hall said.
Last year, when a second-grade teacher assigned him to write about a bad day in his life, Isaac thought for a while, then approached the teacher. "I haven't had a bad day," he said.
"That was two and a half years into treatment" for the leukemia, his father said.
(When we have a bad day lets try our best to follow the attitude this little boy had and lets keep his family - friends in our prayers.)
