On January 20, 2011 our lives were forever changed.

Our sixteen year old son, Taylor, was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma.

This is his story.

HE'S SO HAPPY HE COULD CRY!

Taylor had the experience of a life-time today. 
He got to meet Steve Young! 
Unbeknowst to us, our bishop has been working with Steve's P.R. person for months now, trying to set this up.  We didn't know about it until a few days ago and Taylor didn't know about it until we were on our way to meet him.

When Bishop Floyd told Taylor where we were going (while driving there), his eyes welled up with tears.  He just couldn't believe someone would do something like this for him!

Steve chose what he wrote on it.  Taylor- My main man.  
Keep the faith.  HOF 2005. SB XXIX MVP.  Steve Young  49ers
As we were walking out of the house I told Taylor he might want to wear a hat today.  He asked which one.  Since I knew where we were going, I told him a 49ers hat.  Steve signed it as well.  
"Taylor - my friend    Steve Young  49ers/BYU"

Taylor is a huge San Francisco 49er fan and has been since he was a tiny boy.  Today was a dream come true for him.  In fact Taylor is such a realist, I don't know if he has ever even let himself dream of meeting Steve Young.  It was an amazing experience.  One he will never forget!

Thanks again Bishop Floyd.  You are one of the most thoughtful people we have ever had the privilege of knowing.
