Doctor asks terminally ill children what matters in life - Here are their answer

Kids can be so wise.

Dr. Alastair McAlpine is palliative care physician at Cape Town, South Africa. Dr. Alastair McAlpine is working for the non-profit organization PaedsPal. He spends every day caring for children with life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses.

In a tweet, he explained: “For an assignment, I asked some of my terminal pediatric palliative care patients what they had enjoyed in life, and what gave it meaning. Kids can be so wise, y’know.”

All of these children are between the ages of four and nine years old. Even though they are young, they still managed to hit the nail on the head when it comes to what makes life worth living.
