We had a great time with Tyler yesterday. After church we celebrated his birthday by taking him for some Mexican food. He loved the food, but he was much more interested in interacting with his family. It was so nice to see him so smiley and engaged with everyone. Its easy to tell that Tyler currently feels very safe and comfortable with his life.
Its hard to wrap our brain around what life has brought us over the last 6 years. We have experienced some dramatic losses and equally dramatic victories. I'm proud to say that we have kept our head up and fought for the important things along the way.
One question always seems to come up around Tyler's birthday or other holidays, which is "what can we do for Tyler's birthday?. After all, he doesn't truly need anything that isn't already provided for him. He isn't a gamer, he isn't into using a phone, and he doesn't drive. So what does he need?
A better world to live in. That's the way that we can truly honor Tyler. We can reach out to just ONE person and make their life a little better. Maybe a person is going through a person tragedy and needs to hear some encouragement. Maybe someone just needs a hug and to hear everything is ok. Perhaps you have lost contact with someone and they would be overjoyed if you just dropped them a note to say you are thinking about them.
This is how we honor Tyler. It takes a lot of dedicated people to care of Tyler which is the most wonderful gift he could receive every day. So take those gifts and pass one on to someone else.
Be well and God bless. Tom
