LeGrand Gold and his family had a challenging time during the holiday season; however, music legend Dolly Parton made it the most incredible Christmas ever by giving them a delightful phone call.

According to KSL TV in Salt Lake City, Gold, who was raised in Tennessee, has been fighting cancer for the last couple of years and was informed by his physician a few weeks ago that the ailment had extended.

Gold shared with the media that they reviewed their scans and found that the cancer had progressed and moved beyond their liver. Consequently, the medical professionals informed Gold that both the chemo and radiation treatments are ineffective. The doctors then simply sent Gold home, advising them to spend time with their loved ones.

Gold had a desire among his top 10 wishes, and that was to have the opportunity to meet Dolly Parton. Despite being from the same state as her, Tennessee, Gold never envisioned it actually happening.
