CRAMER
Cramer is a very special showman. He was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma (cancer of the eye) when he was 6 months old. He went through 6 months of chemotherapy, 9 weeks of external beam radiation, more than 30 surgeries, and even experimental techniques to fight the cancer. However, after 2 ½ years, the cancer just would not go away and his eyes had to be removed. Cramer has been totally blind since he was 3 years old, but there's not much he can't do. He is a straight A student, plays piano, rides a bike, has taken horseback riding lessons, and been on a swim team. He enjoys practicing his golf swing, woodworking, and of course showing cattle. He takes part in breaking the calves, feeding, and helping out anyway he can. Cramer is one of the reasons we stress disposition in cattle. He enjoys being around them, so they have to be gentle and calm.
Jesus said in John 8:12, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." This is the verse God gave me the night before Cramer had his last surgery, and it is so true. Cramer is filled with light and it is my prayer that others will see that and be inspired. |
