Letters to God

Today I was able to watch a very touching true story. It was about a little boy that was 8 years old that had developed brain cancer. The whole point of sharing his story was this little boys out put on life. Nothing was negative and even the worst questions like why me, were taken with a grain of salt. There was a point in the movie where the little boy was sung to by his older brother that had written a song about him. This was the point in the movie that really brought his story to a sea of emotions for me. I'd like to share the lyrics to that song.

I look at your smiling face,

Your so weak, yet you have such strength,

You take a glance around this place,

You make the best of everything

You give me hope, in spite of everything,

You show me love, even with so much pain

So I'll take this life and live like I was given another try

We laugh, we cry

Sometimes we're broken and we don't know why,

I'm tired and I lose my way,

you help me find faith, oOo

You give me hope, in spite of everything,

You show me love, even with so much pain

So I'll take this life and live like I was given another try

Just give me another try

You give me hope, in spite of everything,

You show me love, even with so much pain

So I'll take this life and live like I was given another try

You give me hope, in spite of everything,

You show me love, even with so much pain

So I'll take this life and live like I was given another try

Just give me another try

Just give me another try

The opening lyrics really hit home. It reminded me of my grandmother who died from cancer. She had suffered for years from numerous cancers and I had no idea. She never showed that she hurt. She always smiled and was the most alive and upbeat person I have ever known. Her outlook on life is what motivates me. Some days my motivation is gone and watching this story, kinda rekindled that flame. It just reminds me to be happy, to not sweat the small stuff. Don't care about whats going on other peoples lives and just live my own, to be happy, and most importantly

I find it so inspiring that the little boy was able to inspire so many people by writing a simple letter, to god. That he helped so many people with just a smile.

That he continues to leave a message even in death. 

Thank you Tyler, you give me hope
