Hyrum’s mother wrote a touching response to The Rock’s video, which the actor also shared. “Update from the video I posted. Look at this lil’ boy, Hyrum’s face. That’s some joy real right there. Thank you to the person who wrote this beautiful note.
“You’re absolutely right – joy and hope cost nothing and yet, is the most powerful gift we can give. That’s the real magic to life.”
Hyrum’s mother is just ‘blown away’ by the support from the actor and his fans, saying it has helped her son in what is the ‘fight of his life.’
“He’s watched Moana over and over. It’s what he does on his hardest days. He watched the video from Dwayne again… while watching Moana,” she wrote.
“I love when he smiles. Points to his chest and repeats his name. It reminds me that cancer is not taking our boy, just his energy.”
