Logan Stevenson, 2, died yesterday at home, after battling a genetic disorder that made him susceptible for cancer. The youngster wanted to serve as his parents' best man and was able to do so this past weekend before passing away.

"Sean and I held him all day he (Logan) was comfortable with his medication then at 8:18 my son took his last breath in my arms Logan passed away im so sad upset and im in disbelief he is with angels and he's in no more pain. No more sickness no more hospitals. We love all of u for all your prayers thank u all for caring god bless you all! And most of all god bless Loga I'll c u in my dreams my son," Logan's mother, Christine Swidorsky, posted on Facebook.

She and her husband were married this weekend after learning that Logan's time on earth was extremely limited. They were scheduled to marry later this year but moved up the date so that Logan could be included in the ceremony. He served as his parents' best man, and the family celebrated the bittersweet day, knowing it was most likely one of Logan's last.

He was diagnosed with Fanconi anemia, a very rare genetic disorder that can cause cancer. During his two years on earth, he underwent several surgeries, aggressive chemotherapy, and a stem cell treatment. Unfortunately, nothing helped, and Logan grew worse.

Doctors gave the toddler only three weeks to live during his last appointment, so his parents decided to make the most of that time and hold their wedding ceremony. Family and friends worked together to make the day extra special for the couple that met in 2007 and had Logan just three years later.

"You know, the only thing that keeps us going is our family and our love, so that's what we're here for, for our son, until God says so," Logan's father, Sean Stevenson, told CBS.
