Aiden

 Aiden loves to play in the mud. When he is covered head-to-toe, he’ll run up to his mom and beg her to rinse him off with the garden hose. Aiden has always been a happy kid, but since he’s returned home from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where he was treated for non-Hodgkin lymphoma Aiden takes special delight in the normal things, the things most people take for granted.
