Those around him continued their normal lives while he recovered. One day, Spears recalls, his older kids ran outside, but one child stayed behind. Margene said, "Two-year-old Tyjae." "He didn't want to leave me. As a two-year-old kid, with his older brothers wanting to go outside and play, he was barely able to talk and was like, "Daddy, can I do anything for you?" He wanted to get me water. He wanted to help me. "Ever since then, I just noticed he was different." (via the official Tennessee Titans website)
