One thing Lindsey and I have consistently tried to do is help Graham understand why he is in a hospital. He now understands that he was in an accident. That a car ran over his head. That he has been in the hospital getting better. We've also told him that we share his story on the computer, and that lots of people have been praying for him to get better.
Last week Graham asked how badly he got hurt by the car. So we slowly, and with lots of warning, showed him some pictures from early on in his recovery. We emphasized how great it was that "Heavenly Father helped you get all better!" and that so many people praying for him helped him get better quicker. At that point, Graham asked the following questions:
"Have all the people praying for me seen my pictures?"
No Grahammy, they haven't.
"Why not?"
We didn't want to show everyone pictures of you without your permission. Do you want them to see the pictures
"Yes!"
Why do you want them to see the pictures?
"So they can see how much better Heavenly Father made me!"
So after prayerful consideration, we have decided to honer Graham's wishes and let you all see how much better Heavenly Father has made Graham. Just a warning - some of the pictures in the video are graphic.
Once again I lay hear sobbing in gratitude to a very loving Heavenly Father. Graham is such a special little boy and I love him more everyday. I am grateful he is here to tell his story and touch the lives of so many with his sweet spirit.
