I think we can all relate to the desire to be at home, in bed. But I don't think we can imagine that being our only, final wish.
Terran Robinstein spent seven of his 10 years in a hospital, IVs and tubes stuck in his body. He couldn't do the things other little boys did. He told his mother all he wanted was to go home.
On Wednesday, he was laid to rest on his bed, barefoot and wearing Power Rangers pajamas. He face was pale, almost like a doll's.
It had been three weeks since he underwent multiorgan transplant surgery, and three days since he died.
"I promised I'd bring him home," said his mother, Kim Robinstein. "No tubes, no wires, just to sleep in his bed ... like a normal boy."
...They remembered how he'd wanted to take his doctors to Red Lobster when he was released from the hospital. He planned to treat them with "stick fund" money from his mother - $1 per blood draw, and $5 per IV insert.
He'd banked $150 since March.

Could you just imagine how hard it would have been for the family if Terran had to go to a hospital for special treatment; one the family didn't live near?
Permit me a moment to pimp the JW House. Go read the story, and help them out.
