In the hectic blur of days that have past, it’s been hard distinguishing today from yesterday. I haven't been able to keep track of dates lately… until today.
This morning, I awoke to a dreary, snowy Tuesday morning. All at once, it struck me that this is Tyler's birthday. Today he would have seen a quarter of a century. It also hit me that for the first time in my life, I wouldn’t be able to call him and sing and wish him a happy birthday.
It hurt-- but only for a moment. I realized that I don't need a phone to talk to him. He knows he's always on my mind. So I wished him happy birthday, and then said a prayer for my family, and those families that have had to deal with a loss such as this, and for those families that will endure this in the future. I gave thanks to God for giving me a role model such as Tyler, and thanks to Him for a family with hearts on fire to help the world.
Tyler, you've given me the strength I need, and as always, your light has shown brighter on the darkest of days. Thank you for being a light to me, big brother. You will be forever young. As I've written you many times,
Love YOU always,
Anna Laura
