Isn't it a wonderful thing when the lives of others bless you with such kindness...a gun...how could 3 boys along with a dad not love that!!<br />The saying, sticks & stones may break my bones but words will never hurt you...that is a true testament of Clay's life. Isn't it a good thing to see his strength through tough times & reaches out to you...that everything will be ok! Amazing young lad you have there. We can learn so much from those who have gone through experiences with wonderful spirits. Thanks for all 5 of your examples! We also understand that all of our strength & grace comes from him, how thankful can we be...<br />We think of you in your journey & hope the road continues to bring happiness to all of you. Your family pictures are great!<br />Our Love,<br />Burgess 5'ALBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094892735395078595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623882953855456300.post-26243607598874859822011-09-11T08:08:35.363-05:002011-09-11T08:08:35.363-05:00Fite Family: You all are in our thoughts and pray...Fite Family: You all are in our thoughts and prayers as you prepare for yet another surgical procedure. So glad you had a summer filled with some great memories. I pray that you experience more positives than negatives throughout your lives. It is amazing how someone as strong as each of you can turn a situation around for good, with Clay being the leader to all of us !<br />Jeanne' Snyder<br /> 1 John 3:7:<br />Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray.

Kids can say the most hurtful words, and makes a person so thankful for Clay's childlike spirit and attitude, which has helped all of us. <br />We think of him as a beautiful healthy normal boy who is going through so much pain because of a very tragic accident. Glad you all had a fun summer, and hope your school year goes well. <br />Very kind of the 3 men who opened their hearts and bought the rifle for Clay. I know he would have been so happy. <br />Take care<br />Bruce & EdnaEdnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05771325636794256685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623882953855456300.post-64700854590423166762011-08-30T11:45:38.482-05:002011-08-30T11:45:38.482-05:00Touched! by this post!

What a lesson we can learn from him...from ALL of you! <br />I am glad you posted pictures of those frogs. I have never EVER seen frogs like that. I can see now why folks actually DO have frog legs to eat...they'd be big enough off frogs like that for sure! <br />Thanks for the update, as you remain forever in our hearts!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441771460245890881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623882953855456300.post-30974170293066761162011-08-29T10:21:14.890-05:002011-08-29T10:21:14.890-05:00I have followed your blog since the accident and G...I have followed your blog since the accident and God has truly blessed your family!! I LOVE that Clay is such a strong little guy and with God he can do anything! I have 3 little girls and one thing I want them to learn is how to treat everyone with dignity! And from one Mom to another- you have been through so much and AMAZE me so much! I hope I'm half the Mom to my girls as you are to your boys! :) Ya'll are always in my thoughts and prayers!!

Clay looks like he is having too much fun with his new gun. Just reading about his stories shows me a lot as well. You sure do have a special son! Thanks for updating all of us! <br />Continue to pray for the Fites!Angela_From_Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681429767085556775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623882953855456300.post-26134430862490383182011-08-28T20:32:19.853-05:002011-08-28T20:32:19.853-05:00Although we have never met, I have enjoyed reading...Although we have never met, I have enjoyed reading your blog since the accident and seeing how God is working in all of your lives and am so thankful for Clay's recovery. His little attitude is one we should all strive to be more like. The story of the men buying the gun for him made me cry! Thank you for sharing an update about your sweet family, and I will continue to keep Clay (and all of you) in my thoughts and prayers. ~ from a friend in QuanahHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160392261870761409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623882953855456300.post-66437139457856168172011-08-27T17:19:06.154-05:002011-08-27T17:19:06.154-05:00EEEK tell the boys I have never seen such huge &am...EEEK tell the boys I have never seen such huge & scary frogs!!!! YIKES!!! I would be terrified to be anywhere near those things!!! I don't even like tiny itty bitty frogs jumping at me!!! The boys are brave to be TOUCHING them!!! I'm very relieved to know y'all didn't eat frog legs for dinner!! :) <br /><br />That was so kind & thoughtful of those men in Graham!! <br /><br />I love the family pictures -- you all look SO great!!! I can't believe the boys are in 7th, 4th, and 2nd grade ... time flies!! So glad to hear Clay is loving school so far. I bet the teachers wish all their kids loved coming to school! Will be praying for that Sept. 12th surgery. I wish he could just have one more surgery and then be done for good ... it's got to be so stressful & painful each time. Tell Clay I have some big flouncy sun hats he could borrow after the surgery .... but I don't think he would like my style very much. :) <br /><br />Ah it just breaks my heart to hear about people saying & doing unkind things!! I cannot imagine what that must feel like as a parent. My mom says when you become a mom, your heart breaks on a whole different level when someone says or does something to hurt one of your children. I wish everybody could just try to understand & show some compassion & empathy!!! And I wish more parents would take the time to have meaningful discussions with their kids about how to act & how to treat others. Sweet Clay has SUCH a tender heart of a champion ~ and his attitude toward life inspires so many people. He obviously gets a lot of his perspective from his parents - y'all are doing such a great job with all three of those boys. I am so thankful that God is helping keep Clay's spirit strong and vibrant.<br /><br />You are one truly special family, and I'm so proud to call y'all my friends. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon (and am I the only one who thinks it's funny that you said you might have some more time now that school has started?? Most people think life really gets hectic when school starts up again - that just shows how busy you guys stay all year round!!).<br /><br />Love, KatieKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08041258628368852333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623882953855456300.post-61464162984124266552011-08-26T22:48:27.155-05:002011-08-26T22:48:27.155-05:00Thanks so much for another update, several things ...Thanks so much for another update, several things you told of very touching... so glad I checked today! I think of y'all often. Hated to miss Happy and all the folks, including your family, I didn't get to see. :-( Please tell Clay & his brothers that I think of them.
