<p>So sorry for your loss. Les and Laura, it was an honor to play with your son in PT. Seeing his smiling face every week helped me to push myself to get better. I'm still going to PT every week and I know that every time I think I can't do it any more, I'll remember Taylor's determination in playing crab soccer, or that cute smile I'd get when we'd mess around. I'd be sweating through my clothes but I wouldn't care because he was helping me have fun. I only heard about this today and it breaks my heart. I remember his excitement when he was getting his blonde hair back. He would always come up to me and show me how much longer his hair was getting compared to mine. I hope to God that I made his time in PT enjoyable, as he did for me. He was so shy in the beginning when I met him, but I knew we'd be good buddies. He certainly warmed up to me and I'd get those big hugs or he'd try to wrestle with me. He knew I let him win every once in a while with the bowling pins game, but I think he learned and even let me win sometimes! I always wanted to stay in contact with your family. I'd ask Lauren all the time about Taylor, I loved your son. Such a sweetie. I've known a lot of people throughout my journey, especially kids, who have passed, whether it be from cancer, or other illnesses. Every single time it breaks my heart. But I never forget them. They'll always have a place in my heart. I hope to stay in touch with you, Les and Laura, I can tell that you are great parents. Taylor would run over to his dad's feet and grab his arms, the loving smile his mom would give to him during the session. That's the real definition of love. And boy was he excited to go to Disney! I was so happy for him! Your sweet little boy will live on in me forever I promise you that. I can't imagine what you are going through right now, losing a child. I lost my dad in 2013 and I still have days that I can't go to sleep without his kiss goodnight. Please reach out to me and my family if you need ANYTHING. Thank you for bringing Taylor into my life. I'll never forget him.</p>
