What are you thankful for?

I am so thankful and grateful for my nephew Tyler. He is my severely autistic nephew and my absolute hero. Tyler is 31 years old and a big huggable person. He will rarely make eye contact but once he does it is magic, and a beautiful smile that won't quit. It is nothing less than amazing how he carries on in life despite his disability with so much love and care he comes in contact with. Tyler has brought our family together with wonderful demeanor and no judgement and absolute love with everyone one he comes in contact with. I am blessed being part of his life. Tyler loves me and I love Tyler.
