Tyler was in so much pain today, it was hard to watch. He is enduring this well with so much
gratitude. Our family thought of him
with every bite we took sitting around our tables. We felt so grateful that we had the health to
enjoy the company and food and felt a sense of guilt and sorrow that Tyler was
suffering. Visiting with Tyler, he didn't
mention anything about pity, he expressed gratitude for every visitor he had
that day with such sincerity. He is
enduring this pain with so much gratitude for every small act of kindness:
visits, cards, someone who holds the cup up so he can take a drink, or gives
him a bite of food. He thanks his
visitors multiple times before they leave.
Watching Tyler was humbling today. I wonder if I could be so gracious while in
that kind of pain. Tyler reminded me
what Thanksgiving is about, being grateful for the tender mercies and blessing
our Heavenly Father gives us. We love
you Tyler!
