A terminally ill boy in Knoxville Tennessee had one last wish; to see Santa Claus. The boy is unknown so the story hasn't been confirmed, but the story was published in the Knoxville News Sentinel. According the the story, the boy died in Santa's arms shortly after he asked him "Santa, can you help me?". Schmitt-Matzen was the Santa in whose arms the boy passed away in. The boy was 5 years old and Santa came into his hospital room, where the boy passed away shortly after.
If you were Santa, what would you think?
As the sons parents, what would you think?
I would be sad that the boy passed away. And as the parents I would have a little satisfaction, knowing your son got his last wish.

I would feel so bad for the child. I think this is an amazing thing for Schmitt-Matzen to do and shows he has a heart. If I was the sons parents I would feel so grateful for Schmitt-Matzen for taking his time to come in and be Santa to make his last wish come true.
I would feel a little split. I would feel sad that he passed away and his wish was so sweet that it just really heartbreaking. I could also say I would be happy because this was his wish, and to grant it would be something truly magical and something I would never forget.
I think I would be confused by the question. I would be freaked out that the child died in my arms. Now if i was his parents I would be very sad that he has passed, but I would also be glad he got to see he got his wish.
if i were santa i would kinda feel horrified and sad because he just asked me to help him but knowing that santa is a fictional character, he couldn't do such a miracle.as the kid's parents i would feel very hurt not just because i just lost a big part of my life, but also from the fact that he took his last breath in a stranger's arm and not mine. this story is being proven if it's true or not but if it is i am sending all my comfort to the family.
I don't know what I would think, this is a very sad thing that no one should have to go through. The man who visited the child as Santa probably left with a deep sadness in his mind, but a great joy in his heart. He granted the last wish of a dying child and that is the greatest deed a person could do. As the parents I would be very sad that I lost my child, but I would be very thankful to the man who dressed up as Santa.
If I was Santa I would be honored to emotionally help the boy but I would feel extremely sad that he passed so close to me and in such need of release. If I was the parent of the boy I would feel glad that he passed peacefully with a joyful fictional character.
I would of wanted to make the boy's Christmas special as possible. I would also be sad knowing he passes awaying especially in my arms if I was the santa. As the parents I would be very sad over the loss of their son, but also have a little bit of joy knowing he got his wish.
I would try and make the boys Christmas as good as possible. I would also be so sad. I would also feel so bad because he passed away giving like Santa a hug like i would feel bad because he was in my arms and not his parents. I would be happy he got what he wanted. But also sad because he is gone.
I would feel so bad for the child. I think this is an amazing thing for Schmitt-Matzen to do and shows he has a heart. If I was the sons parents I would feel so greatful for Schmitt-Matzen for taking his time to come in and be Santa to complete the boy's wish.
If i were santa i would try to make this boy christmas as special as possible. I would go out of the way to make sure my son would have the best christmas possible
