"Prayers are why I believe I am here today. I can't even believe how many people have been praying for me to recover, people I don't even know. I am still amazed. Although I am not sure exactly what it is yet, I know in my heart that God kept me here to carry out something for him. It excites me, I know I am going places in my life and I'm going to slow myself down until I figure out what it is that I am going to succeed at. I know that if I could make a difference in one single person's life, it would be enough to carry me through life happily. I see how much of a difference the doctors make with me and other kids and I want to be able to do that for someone too. I just wanted to say thank you to anyone who reads this. The prayers, your love and God have gotten me through the hardest time in my life so far and I appreciate it more than you will ever begin to understand."
