When you think of someone writing an obituary, you probably think of someone elderly or a family member who writes something for someone who has already died. An image of a 5-year-old wouldn't come to mind for most people, but a little boy wrote his own obituary, leaving a surprise for his parents.

Garrett was five years old and suffering from terminal cancer. His parents, Ryan and Emilie, had to watch the pain that their child went through each day for several months. They saw his body wither away to nothing as the medications that were pumped into his tiny body took their toll.
