Tyson's Talents...

Thanks for your kindness but you continue to give me too much credit. Tyson is the one who is amazing. He is perfect just the way heavenly father made him. The burden is upon us to see the real Tyson and not his temporary condition If there is a disability, and I too hate that word, it’s ours not his. Tyse has so many special talents that anyone smart enough to get to know him can easily see. Most of us count ourselves lucky if we have one or two talents or areas where we excel. Tyson is exceptional when it comes to Talents. .

Tyse has the patience of Job for his situation in life, and for our inability to see and understand him sometimes.

Tyse is one of the kindest people I have ever known.

Tyse has unconditional love for everyone around him.

Tyse has the ability to happy-dance his way into your heart and make you forget your problems.

Tyse can teach you that it is okay to be who you are, and that your best is enough.

Tyse is not afraid to walk up and hug a stranger, and make a new friend.

Tyse has the gift of joy, laughter, and smiles. With him it’s actually contagious.

Tyse has a memory like an elephant, and uses it to remember the good and happy things in life – he remembers forever actually.

Tyse can see when you are having a bad day and will give your hand a squeeze, or bend over and look into your eyes and grin and let you know it’s going to be okay.

Tyse has a talent for understanding that things change, and that change is okay.

Tyse has a talent for knowing it doesn’t do much good to worry about things that you can’t control.

Tyse has a talent for living his life in the moment. He doesn’t worry about who was mean to him yesterday, nor is he afraid of what might happen tomorrow.

Tyse has a talent for seeing only the best in people, and for bringing it out in them.

Tyse is a great teacher when it comes to showing us what is important in life, and what really doesn’t matter.

Tyse has a talent for making others want to do better regardless of the challenges life may bring.

So while I appreciate your kind comments, I also understand that I am a much better person because of Tyson and because of what he teaches me each week. If I am special in any way, it’s because of my luck to be able to associate with him. For anyone that gets to really know Tyse, he becomes the teacher and they become the student.

You and Bruce have an amazingly exceptional son and it’s impossible not to love him.
