Facing a child's terminal illness

American Chronicle recently ran a touching story about Evan Newport, a boy from Royal Oak, Mich., who has been facing a terminal illness (Noonan Syndrome, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and lung disease) for six years.

It's been very difficult for his family, but Evan's father, Scott, has the appropriate mindset to deal with his son's condition. Scott has described his philosophy as "The Warrior Mentality":

1. Warriors know how to take on affliction.
2. Warriors may get knocked down, but we always get back up.
3. For warriors, the greater the battle, the greater the reward.
4. Warriors never go into battles alone.

Scott said that his reward is one more day of life for Evan.
