Jimmy loves to play "army guys" his favorite color is camouflage he is fascinated with everything military. I have been somewhat concerned that there was one more thing that he wanted to do in life but was going to be disappointed because he is legally blind. I finally asked him "do you want to be in the army when you grow up?" His reply was "no way, I could get hurt"
Just an example of another difference that cancer has made in his life. He is far more aware of his mortality than other 6 year olds. He is not obsessed by death but he is aware of the possibility of his death in a way that is so unusual for a child. In a way he seems so wise and mature.
I don't know if it is good or bad, it just is.
