Jeremy Renner is sharing a heartwarming message of gratitude from his nephew following the actor's harrowing snowcat accident.

The Marvel star, 52, took to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday to share a handwritten note from his nephew, Auggie, explaining what he's grateful for.

"I am very lucky because my uncle is hawk-eye (witch is 1 of the Avengers)," reads the note, on lined paper. "I am also very lucky that my uncle is alive from his accident."

"Love my little man," Renner added on his Instagram Stories. "Bless you Auggie"

Renner also posted a photo of two smiling, stuffed sloths, writing: "My inside feelings."

Last month, Renner suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries in a snowcat accident in Reno, Nevada after attempting to help another one of his nephew with a car issue, according to an incident report filed by the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office.

Following the accident, Renner was flown to a hospital, where he was placed in an intensive care unit and underwent surgery. The "Hawkeye" star revealed his release from hospital care in a tweet about the Season 2 premiere of his Paramount+ series "Mayor of Kingstown" on Jan. 16.

In a February interview with Access, Renner's fellow Marvel star Evangeline Lilly gave an update about the actor's condition after having visited him.

"He had a near-death experience that was highly traumatic, and he was awake for the whole thing. It really has stuck with me," she said. "He's got a journey to go through now. That's what nightmares are made out of, and he lived through it, and he's on the other side now."
