Grayson’s Smile – A Profound Blessing In Our Lives

“Every day is a good one.

I look forward to seeing the morning sun every day.

And it’s so exciting to wake up and see what the Lord has planned for me.

God bless all of you!

Love, Steve”

Steve Andrews, battling the cancer that would eventually take his life,

writing to his friends and family on Caring Bridge, 2/25/13

Many events that rearrange our lives are not ones we would ask for – they are just too painful, too hard, they too unexpectedly and inconveniently disrupt our lives. But out of those challenges come many blessings we would have never otherwise experienced.

Such is Grayson Morse. My grandson. I really cannot explain in words how he has made our family and those close to us closer, more loving, and just better people. I know he has mine. Grayson’s smile and his laugh literally lights up our lives.

I will be sharing stories and essays about Grayson over time – there are so many things to talk about – but the purpose of this short essay is to introduce a clip with Grayson and our daughter Piper. There are many takeaways about what you will see here, but today I particularly want to share gratitude for Corwyn's Cause and in particular its founder, Megan Schomer, who have so wonderfully supported the parents of people like Grayson, as you’ll see in this video (check out their website to learn about Corwyn’s story and more about this wonderful organization).

Please watch this short clip. I would love for you to know more about Grayson, what it takes for my daughter to care for him every day, the love that she and her husband Jeff have for him, how important support for the parents of these loved ones is, and our profound gratitude for Corwyn’s Cause and all the people and organizations who have wrapped their arms, literally and figuratively, around this little fella. We will get to more of those other angels in our lives later.
