8-Year-Old Boy With Leukemia Finds Love, Goes on First Date

When he was just 2-years-old, David was diagnosed with cancer.

The cancer he has struggled with since the age of two has returned for good this time, and it’s a devastating diagnosis for a boy who won’t even reach secondary school. After so many years of illness already his parents knew how tough the treatment would be, so they decided to just make his life as great as possible in whatever time he had left.

“I told her I liked her and she just had a surprised face, so we started dating”, David told Fox6 news. “Only swimming pools, special events, going everywhere possible, fun, playing with other kids, going hard and fast to make it count!” In an explanation on the Spisaks’ YouCaring fundraising site, David’s family writes: “There is no more treatment, just a little bit of living like a real boy finally”.

David was enrolled in the second grade this fall, and later left after he began to feel pain in his legs.

David’s parents knew he had a crush on Ayla, but it wasn’t until David was pulled out of school and his classmates sent letters to him that they realized how serious the “crush” actually was.

Ayla had written several letters with her phone number on them – and her classmates wrote about how much she missed David.

Ayla pushed David around in his wheelchair, helped him bowl, and the two shared a few pizza.

‘She kinda looks like Snow White, ‘ he said.

David’s mother Amber Spisak contacted Ayla’s mother Angela Andrews, according to WTKR, to arrange for the pair to meet up at a bowling center. David even called her to formally ask her out, not to mention that he met her at a bowling alley, teddy bear and flowers in tow.

“We were all so taken aback by their bond, their connection there”, Spisak told ABC News. “No one else was allowed to touch him”. They stayed together the entire time.

“It was so natural, there was no hesitation from neither one of them. They just wanted to be together”.

A terminally ill 8-year-old boy hasn’t let his fight with cancer keep him from experiencing his first love.

David Spisak says Ayla is “like Snow White”.

Of course, his life isn’t typical.

“We never thought he was going to ever experience this because his time is so limited, but we saw it and it’s real”, his mother told ABC News.
