Terminally ill preschooler proposes to therapist at Duke Children's Hospital

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- A 6-year-old boy battling a rare disease drew many smiles after he popped the question to an art teacher/therapist of his at Duke Children's Hospital.

Creed Kolasa, who put on an adorable show when he proposed to his good friend Ms. Alison, suffers from Duchennes, a terminal form of muscular dystrophy. He goes for weekly trial treatments to help prolong his life.

The boy knew Allison Griffin, whom he refers to as "Ms. Allison," was right for him as soon as they bonded over a love for Mac and cheese.

Kolasa's proposal was heartfelt, and while Alison was more than happy to say yes, Kolasa had to call off the engagement after some of the surrounding nursing nurses got jealous!

"Marriage is hard," Kolasa told his mom shortly after the proposal.

The cute proposal was a wonderful moment for Kolasa and his family, and it will be a moment they will certainly cherish forever.
