The First
In my mind today, I’m thinking about my great nephew. His grandmother is my amazing sister, Judy. She has a heart so big and I thank God for her every single day. If there’s an anchor in our family, it’s her. When she called yesterday hysterical and pleading for prayers, my heart literally cracked. Kyler, her grandson, had a tragic accident on a 4-wheeler. He was being air-lifted for head trauma. I’ve been praying along with many since her call.
Kyler was the first of my great-grands to accept me in my chair. It was like her never saw it. He made me feel accepted and loved even though I could no longer join in physical activities with the kiddos at our family get togethers. He would hop on my scoot with me and away we would go. In almost every family picture, he is in my lap. When I go to his ball games he always lights up when I roll in. Kyler is just special. We all love him very much.
Today as I would read and pray, my focus is just with Kyler, my niece Tiffany, and my sister Judy. I’m asking God for a miracle of complete healing. Please keep our family in your prayers. Show tunes Sal is finding it tough to sing today. Life is so very fragile, but God is so much stronger. I truly believe in the Lord the Giver of life. He loved us first.

Sarah, Kyler is in one of the best children’s hospitals in the State of TN. I know this for a fact, because when I was around 1 or 2 yrs. of age, I was a patient there. I had Pott’s disease which is a form of tuberculosis of the bone. Mine was in my back. That has been abt. 60 yrs. ago and I’ve been in good health since.
God has placed the best doctors around for children in that hospital. I have to say that I’m living proof. Not many people know that about me. Between God and the doctors, Kyler will be alright.
Please, relay this message to Tiffany for me. She was in the family for a long time and is still part of the family, even tho, she and Lil’ Rusty have gone their separate ways. And let her know that Patsy and I still love her as one of our own.
With prayers,
Rusty & Patsy Essary
