Graditude Day #4 - Bryson Albertus




What a blessing Bryson is to our family.  Hayden was only 20 months old when I found out that Bryson was coming to our family but we were just as thrilled. My pregnancy with Bryson was less than ideal but and I was hospitalized for the majority of my pregnancy.  Through that time though I bonded with Bryson and when he was born, I was more in love than I thought possible. We thought Bryson was going to be a girl so the name we had picked out would not work.  Bryson’s name is a combination of Brian’s son and Albertus is Brian’s grandpa Albert that he was very close too. Once we saw him and as his personality has developed we knew that the name for him was perfectly fitting.
  As many of you know, Bryson has struggled through a multitude of health challenges and on more times than I would like to count, Bryson should no longer be with us which has convinced us that Bryson is a very special gift and his work on this Earth must be great. His physical challenges still hamper him today but through it all he is always has a positive attitude. 
Bryson is a perfectionist and everything that he sets his mind too he accomplishes. He sets personal goals and nothing will dissuade him from reaching that goal.  We have witnessed times when he is out running at 10:00pm because he has a goal to be more physically fit.  Or gets up at 6:00am so that he has time to read scriptures before the day gets started.    He's love for the gospel and doing what is right is such an example to me.  
Bryson loves with his whole heart and is always quick with words of encouragement, hugs, and loves. He has a unique gift and a special connection with the Spirit to know when someone is struggling and what they may need.    The other thing Bryson loves is Disneyland.  He truly embodies the Disney spirit and magic and carries that with him all of the time.

 
  Bryson – I love you more than you could ever possibly imagine. You are the perfect end to our family and you make our earthly family complete.  You have such a keen intellect and the biggest, sweetest Spirit.  know that you are truly a special gift from our Heavenly Father and you are truly one of my greatest treasures.
