In front of the cake, with the candles lit and his whole family watching, León, a boy, closed his eyes and asked for something children his age do not usually ask for: that God would heal him.
The video of that moment was saved, perhaps without yet knowing how the story would end. A year later, the family recorded again. This time to share that the little boy had overcome the illness he was facing, and that for them, that recovery was the answer to that birthday wish.
The comparison between the two moments went viral on social media and filled the family with messages of support. Some see it as a testimony of faith, while others simply focus on the strength of a boy who, in the midst of it all, only wanted to blow out his candles and be healed.
