"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.
