Terminally ill boy dies in the hands of Santa Claus: "It was his last wish"


Yet once a terminally ill boy wanted to see Santa. Eric Schmitt-Matzen managed to fulfill his last wish, the five-year-old child eventually died in his arms.
The engineer crawls about eighty times a year on the role of Santa Claus. everything is authentic about him, to his impressive beard. But he will never forget that one time in the Tennessee hospital.
Schmitt-Matzen had just come home from work when he got a phone call. On the line was a nurse at the hospital where he was often liven things up. "There was a boy who wanted to see me urgently, there was no time to lose."
Fifteen minutes later, Schmitt-Matzen was there. The child's mother asked him to give him a toy from the popular children's series "Paw Patrol. "I informed the family in advance: because of the emotions I would prefer that they were not in that room. If I saw tears, I would collapse itself and can not perform my job. "

Through a window, the parents saw how Schmitt-Matzen alighted to their son. "He was exhausted, as if he was ready to fall asleep. I sat beside him on the bed and said, "Hey, I heard you're going to miss Christmas. That is absolutely not an option, you're my most important elf. "

"Really?", The boy replied, With great difficulty he opened the gift. When he saw what it was, there appeared a big smile on his face. And he had an important question for Santa. "They say I'm going to die, but how am I going to know?".

"Do me a favor," said Schmitt-Matzen. "When you arrive, you must say that you are the darling of Santa Claus. And then they're definitely let you in." 

The boy sat up and gave him a big hug. "Santa, can you help me?", He asked. It would be his last words. 

"I held my arms around him and he died at that moment. I kept hugging him. When the family realized what had happened, the mother ran inside crying. Then I left as quickly as possible. "

"I have spent four years in the army and have already seen a lot of misery. But this blew me completely out of my socks." 

On the way home, tears streamed down his cheeks. "Normally my wife and I go the next day visit my grandchildren in Nashville, but I said that its better this time she went alone. For three days I've been a wreck, I thought almost nothing for two weeks. "

Schmitt-Matzen even played with the thought never to crawl more in the role of Santa Claus. The next performance helped him happy again on top. "When I saw those kids smile, I was looking forward to it again. Suddenly I realized the importance of it again. "

The goal is to give the aliens as much knowledge about our civilization as possible.
