Nolan Scully was diagnos?d with rar? soft tissu? ca*nc?r at just 3 y?ars old.
Nolan Scully, 4, was diagnos?d with rar? soft tissu? ca*nc?r. His moth?r docum?nt?d his journ?y on a Fac?book pag? call?d Nolan Strong, wh?r? sh? spok? about how much r?sili?nc? and str?ngth th? brav? littl? boy show?d during a difficult tim?. I H?art Int?llig?nc? shar?d that a family fri?nd Frank B?ll said, “?v?ry battl? h?’s had, h? just bounc?d back, unb?li?vably. You knock?d him down, h? just cam? back and ran.”
Nolan Scully had dr?am?d of b?coming a polic? offic?r and th? sw??t boy want?d to follow in th? footst?ps of his fath?r Jonathan, who was a fir?fight?r. As som?on? who want?d to s?rv? th? community, th? toddl?r was ?v?n sworn as an honorary polic? offic?r and call?d S?rg?ant Rollin’ Nolan. Whil? his family tri?d th?ir b?st to h?lp th? littl? boy cop?, things w?r? starting to g?t wors?.
B?ll shar?d: “W? w?r? sat down with his ?ntir? t?am. Wh?n his oncologist spok?, I saw th? pur? pain in h?r ?y?s. Sh? had always b??n hon?st with us and fought alongsid? us th? whol? tim?. But his updat?d CT scan show?d larg? tumors that gr?w compr?ssing his bronchial tub?s and h?art within four w??ks of his op?n ch?st surg?ry. Th? M?tastatic Alv?olar Rhabdomyosarcoma was spr?ading lik? wildfir?. Sh? ?xplain?d at this tim? sh? didn’t f??l his canc?r was tr?atabl? as it had b?com? r?sistant to all tr?atm?nt options w? had tri?d and th? plan would b? to k??p him comfortabl? as h? was d?t?riorating rapidly,”
It must hav? b??n so h?artwr?nching for th? family to grappl? with th? n?ws and how short th? littl? boy’s tim? had b??n. Nolan’s moth?r Ruth gath?r?d all h?r str?ngth to t?ll th? n?ws to h?r son. How?v?r, his r?action was surprisingly so pur?, innoc?nt, and loving. Sh? told him that h? did not hav? to fight this illn?ss anymor?. According to th? mom, h? r?spond?d, “I DONT??!! But I will for you Mommy!! Sh? told him that sh? can’t k??p him saf? anymor?, but “th? only way I can k??p you saf? is in H?av?n.” To which th? sw??t-spirit?d boy said, “Sooooo I’ll just go to H?av?n and play until you g?t th?r?! You’ll com?, right?” Ruth r?pli?d, “Absolut?ly!! You can’t g?t rid of Mommy that ?asy!!”
A f?w days lat?r, wh?n th? moth?r was giv?n p?rmission to tak? a quick show?r, h?r son was fighting for his lif?. Th? littl? boy was surround?d by a m?dical t?am wh?n h? slipp?d into a coma. In his final mom?nts, Ruth said that sh? “ran and jump?d into b?d with him and put my hand on th? right sid? of his fac?. Th?n a miracl? that I will n?v?r forg?t happ?n?d. My ang?l took a br?ath, op?n?d his ?y?s, smil?d at m? and said ‘I Lov? You Mommy,’ turn?d his h?ad towards m? at 11:54 p.m. Sgt. Rollin Nolan Scully pass?d away as I was singing ‘You ar? My Sunshin?’ in his ?ar.” Although his lif? on this ?arth was short, fri?nds and lov?d on?s will r?m?mb?r him just lik? how his moth?r d?scrib?d him: “h? was mad? of nothing but pur? lov?.”
