There was nothing more wholesome than seeing his brother asked if there is anything special about him and listing his interests. He didn't even see his disability as what made his brother unique, he just saw the unique individual he is for being who he is.

GOD SAID LET THE CHILDREN COME TO ME , Grayson was truly a child of God and to Grayson’s Family my Condolences and your family is truly a blessed family for taking care of one of God’s Angels . Watching this interview showed the world how two great parents took care and loved their child no matter what the circumstances where. You guys are one in a million, bless both of you. Oh yeah and Grayson’s brother!!!!

What made me cry is this specifically. These parents are the elite of parenting.

[@anamelchior7194]

Fr, I see so many people focusing just on the disabilities of others (especially the visible ones), so seeing others value what a person truly is, recognizing that they're way more than just their disability, literally makes me cry like a baby in emotion

[@helunanova]

"He's a daddy's boy." "Yes I am. But I'm your boy too." That was so sweet! He didn't want his mama to be sad, just reassuring to tell her he loves her as much as dad. I don't think I have ever seen a little boy with such a huge emotional intelligence. His flaws have been all on the outside. On the inside, he had the brightest heart and such a great personality. Rest in peace, gorgeous little Grayson. ❤

If you died TODAY, where would you be spending eternity? Have all your sins been forgiven or are you still hoping that you're a good enough person to earn a spot in heaven. The reality is that no one can earn a spot, our sin disqualifies us. But the God news is that Jesus paid for our qualification by dying on our behalf taking the punishment that we deserved. JESUS said, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son; that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16 Nothing is more important than your eternal destination. Please, don't say, "When I get older I'll get right with God' or 'I'll get serious with Jesus one day when I'm ready.' Don't wait any longer, today is the day of salvation. Get right with God today, for tomorrow very well might be too late. We invite you to REPENT and accept that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life by praying this simple prayer out loud right now... 'Heavenly Father, I turn away from my old life and repent for my sins. I believe that Jesus came for me, that Jesus died for me and that Jesus rose again for me so that I can be forgiven and receive eternal life. I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, receive the gift of eternal life. I ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit and lead me for the rest of my life. In Jesus name - Amen. 🎉

If he can be this stoked and not complain, if anything for the super supportive family around him, then I can find it in myself to be for the very few left in my life. I have abandonment issues stacked high upon co-morbidities and kind of raised myself so it makes me super happy when I see parents this involved and loving of their special lil' dude.

If you died TODAY, where would you be spending eternity? Have all your sins been forgiven or are you still hoping that you're a good enough person to earn a spot in heaven. The reality is that no one can earn a spot, our sin disqualifies us. But the God news is that Jesus paid for our qualification by dying on our behalf taking the punishment that we deserved. JESUS said, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son; that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16 Nothing is more important than your eternal destination. Please, don't say, "When I get older I'll get right with God' or 'I'll get serious with Jesus one day when I'm ready.' Don't wait any longer, today is the day of salvation. Get right with God today, for tomorrow very well might be too late. We invite you to REPENT and accept that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life by praying this simple prayer out loud right now... 'Heavenly Father, I turn away from my old life and repent for my sins. I believe that Jesus came for me, that Jesus died for me and that Jesus rose again for me so that I can be forgiven and receive eternal life. I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, receive the gift of eternal life. I ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit and lead me for the rest of my life. In Jesus name - Amen. 🎉

If you walk around thinking the world is an intrinsically evil place then you're living with delusion, not some kind of perceptive state that only ignorant people lack.
