Grayson’s Syndrome (The Only Known Case in Human History)

Grayson lives with a condition so rare it is named after him. He is the only person in the world ever known to have this disorder, but he just wants to talk about baseball and be one of the guys.

"Grayson Kole Smith was born blind, deaf, missing a third of his skull, with a hole in his heart and with severe facial, spinal and cranial deformities. Grayson Kole Smith, of Heflin, Alabama, passed away on July 31, 2021 after bravely battling a life-long illness. He was eight years old. Grayson was born on February 15, 2013 with a multitude of congenital problems. He was given no chance to survive a few days, much less eight years."

His whole family is just pure love and everyone deserves to see that and feel it. The world is a better place for having Grayson been part of it. Thank you so much for sharing him with us, SBSK.

"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. 🎉

I agree @Pat Webster he's a Stoic! It's really inspiring me the be more positive and at least not complain about the cards dealt to me. 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. Ah, there I go being negative and depressing alas I digress.

[@followhim.8543]

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. 🎉

[@luker.6555]

@@Maji777111 Nope. I think happiness has to do with how you focus your attention. You focus on what's "evil" in the world all the time you experience unhappiness; you put your attention on "good" things most of the time then you experience some happiness (as expertly displayed by this kid). 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. The world isn't good or evil, it's just the world. Try mindfulness meditation, it might help your outlook. There's plenty of good apps out there.
