When my brother was a baby, he was very sick. The doctors told my parents he didn't have much time left. So they decided to do as much as they could with him before it was too late. One day, they took him to the circus. They told me that when the Trapeze act started that my brothers eyes went wide with excitement. He loved every minute of it. And when it was time to leave, he cried for a long time.
Later, when they took him in for a check-up, he was healed. It was a miracle. They only explanation they could think of was that day at the circus. His brain must have released so much endorphins that it cured his illness. And probably all the illnesses of everyone in the circus tent too.
Matt, that Trapeze act was yours.
If my brother had died, my parents never would have had another child. It would have been too painful. You saved his life, you saved my life, and you saved the lives of everyone in that circus that day. Thank you.
Haha. The first time I saw this post, the picture didn't load and I was about to comment about how cool it was that your dad was in the circus...Happy Late Birthday to your dad.

ReplyDeleteYou're nuts. Give him a hug for me.
