Talk about a reality check moment. Not remotely a case of virtue signalling (as have been accused by some previously) but I approach this topic as a father foremost and a teacher secondly, and this little lad has really caught my attention in so far that he is a brave, plucky, principled little hero who puts real life into perspective. I appreciate that other children are tragically experiencing similar, if not worse, challenges, however what would you do if you were Bradley's parents?

Hopes and prayers aplenty for Bradley and parents, and others suffering in comparative silence.

Puts things in perspective... as long as your loved ones are healthy, then you really should be happy.
My thoughts are with him and his family, and I hope when the time comes, it's as painless as possible.

As a father, I simply feel for the sheer pleasure-come-utter-hell that this sterling family are experiencing given most recent news that Bradley's health status is deteriorating fast. Every innocent life especially matters - what has this little Super Trouper every done wrong other than raise a smile for everybody else. Sure there are others in a similar position without the media attention, and I include them into this scenario.

= life in real perspective.

Agree. F*cking gutted for his family, doesn't seem like he has long left. No rules in the grand scheme of things or ian brady would have been aborted and Bradley Lowrey would live to a hundred.
You get dealt a hand of cards , that's it , it seems.
Enjoy the good things and don't sweat about the unimportant.
Sad time coming . Unfortunately.

As a parent...this is just so sad.

God bless you Bradley

I echo these sentiments.

Must be awful not only for the parents but his family and those who know the little lad.Very sad.
