?To say it was the hardest days of our lives is an understatement,? says Troy Hunt, as he recalls the day his 13-year-old son, Darian, was diagnosed with leukemia, in a video with a happy ending that WestJet just released for Father?s Day.
?Coach Dad? has already racked up close to 5.5 million views in 48 hours?and we suspect you could fill an Olympic swimming pool with all the tears people have shed in front of their screens.
Troy, a father-of-two and peewee minor league hockey coach, left his hometown of Clarenville, Nfld, with his wife, Neda Hunt, and their son two months ago, so Darian could receive treatment at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. Troy was found to be a stem cell match, and acted as Darian?s transplant donor.
The Hunts left behind their ten-year-old daughter, Kaiya, so she could continue with her schooling and normal routine surrounded by friends. It has nonetheless been difficult for all. ?It?s been two months since I?ve seen my family,? says Kaiya, in her coastal hometown. ?It gets really lonely.?
?I love my little girl; she?s my princess; I miss her so much,? shares Troy, back at Ronald McDonald House, where the Hunts have been staying.
?If I had one wish it would be that we could bring our family together,? says Neda.
