<p>I have been sitting at my computer quietly crying for the last hour or so every time I see a picture or tweet. I am amazed at the outpouring of love and support for this little boy.</p>

<p>Where on earth did all these onions come from… </p>

<p>This is really beautiful.</p>

<p>I too have been following this all day - and crying - laughing and smiling and crying!</p>

<p>That little guy is going to sleep well tonight.</p>

<p>Thanks San Fran for making my day.</p>

<p>I’m home today and have been following the updates on CNN … So wonderful!</p>

<p>Absolutely rates as one of my favorite “breaking news” stories of all time.</p>

<p>Restores my faith in us all to be able to just do something wonderful: no strings, no griping, no red tape, no politics, no problems, just an entire city giving a day of pure joy to a little guy.</p>

Newspaper had printed special edition Friday of “Gotham City Chronicles”. They are re-printing tomorrow, as they were quickly snatched up today. Lots of demand. </p>

<p>Also noted that the Make A Wish website crashed due to traffic today – hope that is a positive for them!</p>
