Preface
The objection is not that subtle or prepared. That’s what happens when the program encounters an error.
One evening in June 2000, Eric Miller skipped a Company Council meeting to watch his five-year-old son play T-ball. During a game, he and his wife, Nancy, noticed that their youngest, Garrett, was having trouble getting the ball over the line and could not balance properly. Out of concern, they took him to the doctor, and he immediately asked for a CT scan. Eric knew something was wrong when the medical professionals asked the Millers to wait in the “quiet room.” As a nurse, she knew exactly what the purpose of that room was. This room serves the purpose of delivering bad, sometimes horrifying news to individuals.
It was six o’clock in the morning. 1At 11:30 a.m., they took Garrett to Children’s Hospital in Denver, Colorado, and immediately put him into surgery. On the following day, June 24, doctors removed a golf ball-sized tumor from the five-year-old’s head. The doctor diagnosed him with medulloblastoma, a condition Dad believes no child should be aware of. 2 The operation left Garrett blind, mute, and crippled. Turn on the respirator to help him breathe. He needs to learn to walk, talk, and go to the toilet. They only gave him a 50% chance of survival over the next five years, even if he miraculously managed to do all this.
The Millers began to count the days they would stay with their sons.
One day, during his cancer treatment, Eric was gazing at his son and contemplated the significance of the watch in Garrett’s life. Despite the difficulties his son faced and the anxiety it caused, he learned something. It was a revelation of sorts. Working in the medical field, where time is a crucial factor, Eric came to the realization that he was mistaken. It wasn’t like Garrett’s life could end at any moment; it was all theirs. The Miller family guarantees that Nois will have someone better than Garrett.
Eric reminded me that we must always strive to survive. This is due to the fact that none of us can be guaranteed to live for more than an hour or two. No matter when they depart, the Millers will embrace life to its utmost.
Garrett’s father wondered if anyone knew how he was doing after his transfer from the intensive care unit to a ventilator. Sitting at the hospital window, he prayed for a solution to the despair that threatened his family’s little hope.
left. 3 That’s when he discovered this story. Matt King, IBM engineer and world-famous tandem cyclist, went blind. 4That fall, Eric took his son to a nearby cycling event to meet Matt King. Here, Garrett had the opportunity to sit on a tandem bike and stretch his arms and hands to feel the pedals under his feet. The “light” came on for Garrett that day. Then he decided to start cycling again; whether they knew it or not, this was the beginning of a journey that would change not only their lives, but the lives of countless people.
A few months later, Garrett told his mother that he wanted to try riding his own bike. He wasn’t sure, but he insisted. By then some of his vision had returned, and he was able to walk a little. With his mother’s help, Garrett got on an old bike and started pedaling. At first, she dodged him, keeping her balance as he vomited. But soon his legs carried him faster than he could run, and he escaped to find, if only for a moment, the freedom he knew before the cancer took over his body. That day, my father brought home a new tandem bike so we could ride together.
Six months later, on June 24, 2001, following a year of radiation and chemotherapy, six-year-old Garrett successfully completed his first triathlon. My father ran after him, pushing his bike. A full year had passed since the first surgery. 5 Both father and son had endured so much that the race served as a means to demonstrate to the world, and perhaps to themselves, that they would not allow a small tumor to impede their lives. Thanks to the treatment his parents recommended, Garrett’s life expectancy increased to 90%. That was fourteen years ago.
Since the initial surgery that nearly paralyzed him years ago, Garrett has participated in more than a dozen triathlons with his father, one of which is his own triathlon. Although his eyesight has not fully recovered, it has returned to the point where he can see invisible things. He is still considered legally blind, but he can do things doctors said were impossible. Without exaggeration, he is a walking miracle.
This is not a book about miracles. This is a book about finding your calling and how you discover what you were born to do. Calling is something you cannot do; it is the answer to the age-old question: “What should I do with my life?”
This is not a book about finding your dream job or being a genius. A work of art is a book about the profession; it is a word that has come to mean something completely different from its original meaning. The word shout comes from a Latin verse and means ‘to shout.'” Originally, religious contexts used it to summon priests. Centuries ago, people believed it was exclusive to an elite group of people, a select few fortunate enough to receive the summons.
