Brave Will

On September 12 2008 Will Hladun was admitted to the hospital. Six days later he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and given a slim chance of survival. He was two-months old at the time. For nearly every day during his five month battle with cancer Will's father wrote letters to him in hopes that some day Will would have a better understanding of what happened to him when he was a baby. The letters shared the fears the triumphs the sadness and the courage of a little baby boy that became known across the country and world as Brave Will. The letters gave everyone who followed a glimpse into the struggles of a family trying to cope with the unthinkable. However in the midst of tragedy a little baby who couldn't speak a word managed to teach lessons about life hope courage devotion and love. And for that we are forever grateful to have been part of the life of Brave Will.
