Patrick Mahomes Fulfilled a Terminally Ill Girl’s Last Wish—What Happened Next Will Make You Cry

It was late September when the news arrived. Eight-year-old Janie sat on the edge of her hospital bed, her small hands clutching a crumpled piece of paper as her mother wept quietly beside her. Doctors had just told her she had two months left to live. The words echoed in her mind, heavy and final, like the dull thud of her heart.

Janie wasn’t like other kids. While her classmates spent their days playing in the park, Janie spent hers under the cold glare of hospital lights. She had been sick for as long as she could remember, but no one had told her it was this bad—not until today. Her mother, pale and exhausted, wiped her eyes and tried to force a smile. “Sweetheart, we’re going to make every day count, okay? We’re going to make sure you do everything you want.” Her voice cracked with the weight of promises she wasn’t sure how to keep.

But Janie already knew what she wanted. Just a week before, as she lay in bed watching a travel show, she had seen something magical: dolphins swimming in the crystal blue waters of Blue Lagoon Island. Their sleek bodies glided through the water, playful and free. For the first time in a long while, Janie felt hope flutter inside her chest. “Mom,” she had said, eyes wide and bright, “I want to swim with the dolphins.”

Her mother smiled weakly. “Maybe one day, honey.” But Janie hadn’t let it go. Something about the dolphins had captured her imagination, representing everything she couldn’t have: freedom, energy, life. After receiving the devastating news, the dream became her only lifeline.

That night, Janie decided she would write to Patrick Mahomes. If anyone could make her dream come true, maybe it was him. The next morning, sunlight streamed through her hospital room window, filling the small space with a soft glow. Janie shuffled over to the small desk by her window, her legs shaky but determined. Her mother watched from the corner of the room, concern written across her face, but she didn’t stop her.

With trembling hands, Janie picked up a pen. The blank page stared back at her, making her stomach flutter with nerves. What could she say that would make him listen? She took a deep breath, steadied her hand, and started writing.

“Dear Mr. Mahomes,” she began, her neat handwriting filling the page. She told him about her illness, how the doctors had given her only two months, and how she had been sick for so long she couldn’t remember what it felt like to be healthy. Then she told him about her dream to swim with dolphins in Blue Lagoon Island, the place she had seen on TV.

Once the letter was done, she looked at it for a long moment, folded the paper carefully, and placed it in an envelope. “Mom, do you think he’ll get it?” she asked, her voice barely a whisper. Her mother smiled through tears. “We’ll make sure he does, sweetheart.”

The letter was sent, and all Janie could do was wait. Days turned into weeks, and her routine became a blur of doctor visits and medications. Each time the phone rang, her heart raced, hoping for news. But as the days passed without a word, her hope began to fade.

Then, one evening, something happened. Janie was half asleep when her mother rushed into the room, her phone pressed to her ear. “Yes, this is her mother,” she was saying, her voice trembling with excitement. “Wait, you mean… what? He read it?”

Janie’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be true? Her mother turned to her, eyes shining with tears. “Elon Musk wants to help! He’s going to make your dream come true!”

Janie gasped, her mind racing. The next few days were a whirlwind of excitement and preparation. A private plane was arranged, and medical staff would accompany them to ensure Janie’s safety.

Finally, the day arrived. As they landed on Blue Lagoon Island, Janie felt a mixture of nerves and excitement. The turquoise waters sparkled in the sunlight, and as she stepped out of the car, she saw them—dolphins swimming playfully in the lagoon.

Elon Musk was there to greet her, his warm smile making her feel at ease. “I’m so glad you’re here, Janie,” he said, crouching down to her level. “Are you ready to swim with the dolphins?”

With a heart full of joy, Janie nodded. The moment she had dreamed of was finally here. As she swam with the dolphins, laughter echoed across the lagoon, and for the first time in months, she felt free.

As the sun began to set, painting the sky in shades of pink and orange, Janie knew her time at Blue Lagoon was coming to an end. But she had lived her dream, and in that moment, she felt a peace she hadn’t known in a long time.

Patrick Mahomes had not only fulfilled her last wish; he had given her a memory that would last a lifetime. As they drove away from the island, Janie leaned into her mother’s arms, ready to face whatever came next, knowing that her dream had come true.

Patrick Mahomes Claps Back At Trolls After Video With Fiancée Goes Viral

Patrick Mahomes clapped back at Internet trolls Wednesday after a video of him and his fiancée Brittany Matthews went viral on Twitter.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and Matthews sat courtside at the Texas Tech vs. Baylor men’s basketball game at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, Texas. (The Red Raiders went on to upset the Bears 83-73). Mahomes is a Red Raider himself — he played both football and baseball there from 2014-16.

In the video that went viral on Twitter, Mahomes originally had his arm around Matthews, but removed it and whispered something in her ear. While it’s unclear what was said, Matthews’ facial expression and gesture indicates there might have been an argument. Matthews is then seen telling the people sitting next to them something with the same facial expression and gestures.

Twitter users were speculating as to what happened between Mahomes and Matthews. Mahomes fired off a tweet around midnight saying, “Man people are weird… love you babe @brittanylynne8 ❤️” She responded Wednesday, saying “I love you❤️🙏🏼”

If you recall, this isn’t the first time Matthews has been the center of Internet trolling drama. When the Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills in an AFC playoff matchup, Matthews celebrated by spraying champagne from her suite seats. Twitter wasn’t happy. And neither was Matthews, who tweeted, “I just wish I could do what I want without getting attacked every week.”
