Dalton Dingus knows that the world really does care. That’s something that many adults in the world have yet to learn. Dalton is a little boy who is dying, but has his heart set on breaking a Guinness world record by receiving the most Christmas cards. I wouldn’t bet against him or the world.

Snippets:

He goes through 12 liters of oxygen a day and wears a face mask to help him breathe, making him look like a miniature fighter pilot with an interest in coloring and playing with Lego blocks.

For weeks since the cards started coming, Jessica Dingus said, Dalton’s health has improved.

“He’s doing pretty good now,” she said. “It’s just been the best Christmas ever.

“He’s excited for the first time in a long time,” she said. “He’s smiling more. He’s laughing more, he’s beginning to become how he was two years ago.

“I think just knowing people really do care for him, that the cards let him know people love him, it has all helped,” she said.

The cards can longer fit in Dalton’s home. The letter carrier can’t fit them all in her truck anymore, and a local television reporter has taken to filling a trailer to bring all the cards to Dalton’s grandfather’s church.
