"There's no sweeter sound than a child laughing-I've been lucky-feel it's my duty 2 give back in any way I can-Much prefer visits 2 hospitals than talk-shows," he tweeted. "Heartbreaking but inspiration-makes my career seem trivial in comparison-Wish I could do more."
Solomon was glad to post the thread and share the kid's story. He even mentioned at the time, Hamill asked for nothing in return.
Good to know Luke still hasn't gone to the dark side.
