This kid is such a source of strength for me.
This last two years I’ve seen this kid go through things that would make grown adults crumble.
He has been tested beyond what he should be as an innocent 10 year old.
In 2022 his whole life changed and so rapidly.
A month straight in hospital followed by continuous and regular stays. Daily invasive tests, being pinned down, so sick he could barely open his eyes, unable to communicate other than to cry.
To be diagnosed with two diseases with no cure and now multiple doses of medication every single day.
Yet look at this kid. Look at these photos.
Pure joy.
He is grateful for his NFL jersey and his melting ice cream. He is grateful for his bike and being with his family.
Kids are the most resilient little beings and we can learn so much from their ability to find joy after hardship.
Being around Isaiah automatically helps me feel gratitude.
So I hope sharing this reminds you how resilient you can be and to remind you to find joy in the little things.
