Video: Dying eight-year-old spends final days with 'love of his life'

A terminally ill eight-year-old boy has vowed to spend the rest of his days alive with 'the love of his life'.

David Spisak Jr, from Chesapeake in Virginia, US, met seven-year-old Ayla when he started Year Two in September.

"In art class, I told her I liked her and she just had a surprised face so we started dating".

The youngster, who was first diagnosed with leukemia when he was just two years old, learned in March that the disease had come back for a fourth time.

At that point, his parents decided to stop his treatments so he could live out his final days experiencing things an eight-year-old boy should, rather than being stuck in hospitals.
