His Only Dream - Visitor's Story

The story I have is not about me, but it is about a friend of mine and is very inspirational.

Tyler Anderson is a fifteen year old from Minnesota. When he was just a child, he was diagnosed with a heart problem, which began to control certain aspects of his life. According to doctors, the condition would worsen in his twenties.

This past winter however, Tyler fell through the ice and into extremely cold water. This experience sped up his condition, and at only fifteen years old, his heart is stopping.

The thing that I find truly inspirational, is that even though he's in the hospital, and coming closer to death every day, he continues to write stories with a passion. The whole left side of his body is paralyzed, but he types on his laptop with one hand, sometimes typing stories of thousands of words.

Yesterday Tyler fainted, and at first there seemed to be no hope. Today, he moved his hand. His only dream is to be known, have his work read, and be remembered. I'm trying to ensure that.
