Tragedy in Santa's Arms-Karina Enriquez

Summary:
This past weekend a very sad incident happened in the arms of a part time Santa Claus. A young five year old boy in Tennessee who was very very ill and in the hospital shared his last words with this part time Santa.The name of the young five year old boy was not given or shared to public. The kid had a big desire to meet and encounter the magnificent Santa Claus.A nurse from the hospital contacted Schmitt-Matzen who has a very popular in the town as a Santa Claus as soon as he heard the cause he rushed over and was at the hospital in 15 minutes. The kid mentioned to him as soon as he got on his lap that he was soon dying and that he wasn't sure if he was going to get into heaven but 'Santa' responded with "tell them that you're Santa's number one elf,and I know they'll let you in" after that they give each other a very big hug and in that moment the little ill five year old boy died wrapped around Santa's arms.

Analysis:
This was written by Alex Leninger on Monday, December 12,2016 for CNN US News section.This news report was very interesting and upsetting to hear about.I was very saddened when i finished reading it, the writer himself even said how he had not touched or written over an event as sad as this. The writer also included that many but many hearts were broken. This event reminded me about the devastating events many slave families had to go through having to be separated  from their parents,brothers and sisters, crying and having their heart broken up into pieces just as how it did to the family of the poor five year old boy.

  2. That's so sad. I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for that man to watch this child experience such a thing in his arms and not be able to stop it.
