DEAR TYLER....

  

Dear Tyler,

  

As I embrace another sleepless night, my mind is filled with thoughts of you. Ninety days from now you will marry your best friend. The woman you chose to be your life partner. Your confidante. Beautiful Heather.

                It seems like yesterday you were this tiny little man-cub 

Remembering back……

                                       There are so many 1^st’s …..

     

                           

           Denny made one very cool bed!                 

                       

 You jumped without even thinking. Even today you step forward in faith.

          

        

Remember peeking under Uncle Mike’s Tux Tail to see what was under there?  Everyone.... cracked up!

We've been through some scary stuff! Who would have ever thought while you and friends were out smashing pumpkins that a stick would be thrown and make direct contact with your eye. You spent 2 weeks in the recliner with no tv, no video games, no over excitement. That was a very LONG 2 weeks. Praise God there was no serious damage done.

                                               

                         

              Aw, the joy of the twins. 

                  Such fun!!

        

                            Your 1st vehicle......and you buried it! 

                            You've had more than one stuck truck.

                           

                     

Just the beginning of gauged ears!

                                   

                                Happy 21^st Birthday!

             The only beer I’ve ever bought you!

                

                                                                                                                                                             One of 3 precious gifts of our extended family: 

The J-5 Crew

Words will never describe the joy I had when these pictures arrived in my email. You have been called since the 1st breath you took.

Many have been touched my your love and compassion. As                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

One of my favorite pictures you have ever taken. You have such a knack in capturing the coolest shoots.

Can you hear her purr?

   

                                                             

             

Brothers from other Mothers. 

This is the 2nd truck that got stuck!

                                             

This picture will never express the heartfelt sorrow we experienced as we drove through Henryville that day. Such devastation was done. And the lens couldn't capture the path because it was so wide.

And you took that solitaire diamond and created one of the most beautiful rings I've ever seen.  

                                      

And she said, 'YES!!"

A BIG decision you and Heather made together. To sponsor a child through World Vision. And what a wonderful blessing for Djeneba to have sponsors.

            

Another Brother from another Mother.

Shawn is one of your closest and dearest friends.

He has done so much for us.

Love you Shawn!!.....aka......"George"           

Never in a million years

would I have dreamed I'd see you

in a bow tie.                                      

But I loved it!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

    Above all else I know Heather is your 1^st True Love.

So, as we begin the final countdown to your wedding day, I anxiously anticipate seeing the joyous & infectious smile on your face when you say,“I DO!” Because at that very moment I know you will be happier than ever before and that, in and of itself, will warm my heart abundantly.

1 Corinthians 1:4-5

I always thank my God for you and for the gracious gifts he has given you, now that you belong to Christ Jesus.  In him you have been blessed in every way. He has blessed you in your speaking and all your knowledge.

You have grown into an outstanding and loyal man of God and I am so proud of you in every aspect. You are my greatest blessing and I love you!!!

Love,

          Momma
