We got you, Bird. 

Your son is tougher than all the grown men on this board. Hope he has the birthday he deserves.

i hope you can get the new college football games if they are out. i know you guys are tight but father and son playing against each other and talking trash. so who gets to pick Auburn? or i guess you guys could be on the same team.

It is nice knowing that we have genuinely great people in this world and several happen to be on this little message board.  What a great community we have here.  A comforting feeling that any one of us will have support should we need it. Thank you. My goodness @bigbird we need video when the reveal is given to Little Bird.

I'm working on it. My wife took it and is having issues sending it.

 

It's subtle, he rarely shows his emotion.  He just very quietly said, That's awesome.  After she stopped the video, he just sat there and asked, "dad, what do I say".  I still had no words.  He was really blown away.

When she gets home I'll get it uploaded.

No really it's the bug that flew in my eye.   Crying, I'm not crying, you're crying.

Oh crap, I have never donated on a Go Fund me campaign.   I had no idea it would post my actual name.   I guess it get it off my credit card.   I am not the Jeffrey Lee recruiter guy.  I'm just a guy that graduated from Auburn, played baseball there and love those who love Auburn.   I have been talking to Bird for about 2 years about his sons' challenges.  I just wanted to help a little bit.    

For future reference, there is a box you can click that will just show your name as "Anonymous". That's what I did.

Y'all are the ones that put it there and, as a dad, I can't tell you how uplifting seeing it was.

Today he has been randomly asking, what about this or what about that?  Each time with a big ol' grin.  He's trying to process it still, but you see glimpses of excitement and hope.  

I'm not trying to be sappy, but it's done me good to see it and I owe it all to y'all.  So unbelievably grateful!

Posts like this one for bird are what have made this site great over the years. We all have our bickering and going back and forth, but things like this shows what truly matters and it has def been a refresher for me this week.
