Terminally Ill Boy Dies in Santa's Arms.

[SterlingStained]

A terminally ill 5-year-old boy had his final wish fulfilled, dying in the arms of Santa Claus after he was afraid he would miss Christmas.

Schmitt-Matze told NBC affiliate WBIR in an emotional interview Monday how he answered the call to grant one child's final wish to see Saint Nick before he died.

"When I got there, it was my job to make sure he got Christmas," Schmitt-Matzen told WBIR through tears.

"He was more concerned about missing Christmas, than dying," Schmitt-Matzen told WBIR.

The boy's mother gave him a gift to give the boy, "something he was always wanting," he said, toys from the children's animated series PAW Patrol.

"What's this I hear you're going to be missing Christmas this year?" Schmitt-Matzen said he asked the boy.

That's when the boy told him he heard he was going to die.

"Well, you're not going to miss Christmas, the elves already had your present, we knew you wanted this for a long time," he said he told the boy.

"Really?" the boy asked, according to Schmitt-Matzen.

He then gave the boy his gift "and that put a grin on his face," he said.

Schmitt-Matzen choked up as he told WBIR that he told the boy "When you get up those pearly gates, you just tell them you're Santa's number one elf."

"I am?" the boy asked, perking up, according to Schmitt-Matzen.

"You sure are, I'm sure they'll let you right in," he said.

The boy then gave him a big hug, he said, and "he just looked at me and said, Santa, can you help me?"

"And that's when he passed," Schmitt-Matzen said.

After the boy died, his mother ran back into the room screaming, and he left as fast as he could.

"I spent four years in the Army with the 75th Rangers, and I've seen my share of (stuff). But I ran by the nurses' station bawling my head off," he told the Knoxville News Sentinel.

Schmitt-Matzen said he was ready to hang up his Santa suit for good in despair, but found the strength for one more children's show.

"When I saw all those children laughing, it brought me back into the fold. It made me realize the role I have to play," he told the Sentinel. "For them and for me."

Man.. this got me choked up.

Oh, man... stuff makes a grown man cry. Especially when I have a 4 yr myself.

Four kids myself...this is tough.

Thanks for sharing that story. But it struck me in the chest hard reading it.

Good read. Feel sad for the boy. But what illness did he have?

So sad. Reminds me of how truly blessed I am to have healthy children (and grandchild).

goddamn. rip to the youngster. santa handled it like a G.

Bummer story

Sad story. I'll pray for the kid and his family.

I saw this the other day, but I read today that the story was fake or unproven.

Man the world sucks right now.

I mean I can't even sit here and cry about a terminally ill child w/o thinking about how these dam stories aren't at least a little vetted before they print em.

Reminds me of how there was a story flying around that CNN aired trans ****ography for 30 minutes. Turns out, schit never even happened. A whole bunch of people who didn't see the **** and didn't get any witnesses spun off articles based on other existing articles without so much as a pause.

this is a fake story.

the guy is a total fraud. reporters started coming down and investigating this story, the guy has already started back tracking.

reporters started digging into this and they called the hospital about this and the hospital doesnt know anything about this. reporters even scoured the tennesse obituaries and found no 5 year old kid that died...




there's more evidence that pizzagate is real than this....



this is fake news the mainstream is so hell bent on being against when they are the #1 propagator if said fake news....

At least the fake news story I fell for doesn't fuel my political ideology. This was ultimately irrelevant.

I'm not trying to change that, lol.

The only reason I brought up other fake news is because Sterling Archer made a claim that mainstream news is the primary problem when it comes to fake news and I disagreed with that statement.

But as far as whether this story is fake or whether I fell for it, I'm not even arguing about that.

Traditional media's blatant disregard for honest reporting is ABSOLUTELY the #1 reason why there is something called #newmedia.

The rise of all these amateur boxing channels and websites covering boxing.....People claim HBO is biased, ring ****zine is owned by oscar.... maxboxing is in the pocket of arum... fighthype aka floydhype..... everything is connected. Its the same with media you see everyday... People are sick and tired of the biased coverage of mainstream traditional media hence the rise of alternative media/ #newmedia. ....ON BOTH SIDES, left and right... you see huffington post, slate, politico, wapo, nytimes.. the young turks..... to breitbart... infowars... ben shapiro... lauren southern rebel media.. louder with crowder....etc. etc....
