Tyler,
Son it is crazy to think that you would be 5 years old today. If you were
still alive you would be going to Kindergarten in the fall as well. Your
Mommy and myself miss you tremendously and hope you are happy where ever
you may be? I know you are still in our hearts! Love you dearly.
This year sure has gone by fast. Happy 7th. Birthday Tyler.
Every year that goes by I find it harder to write things to you. I know
you all ready know everything that happened this year and it's like if I
put it up on this site for everyone else to read then they know what has
been happing here and I really have a problem with that. So I miss you and
wish you were here so you could seat in my lap with your three cousins.
Better yet you could help watch over them in the backyard to give my lap a
rest.
Oh how Nana and I miss you. We love you just as if you were
here.
Again seven years and it's like yesterday when you were
running around.
Bye for now, See you in my dreams.
Love, Papaw

Son,
It has been 4 long years since I last saw you smile, heard you laugh, or
cry. I haven't held you in so long, but the feeling has not slipped my
memory. If I think about it, I can still smell you, feel your soft skin and
remember exactly what you sweet voice sounds like and hear your cry.
I love you dearly
and miss you more than these mere words can say. I hope that you are
watching over all of us from heaven with a smile on your face! I love you
and miss you so dearly!
Daddy

Tyler it's been four long years that you went to be with Jesus. We
think about you every day not just this time of the year. But this time of
the year is all ways harder then the rest because it's when you went home
and we know to a better place. You are still my Little Cowboy, that well
never change. God has blessed us with three Grandchildren the past three
years and I can picture you in the floor with them as they play.
We love you and miss you very much. Papaw

Tyler, I can't believe it has been 4
long years. Tyler I am sorry it took so ling for mommy to grieve. I
guess I could not accept that you were really gone forever. For 3 and a
half years I lied to myself and made myself believe that you were just
on a long trip to Nana and papaw's Sometimes I still hear you and pretty
often your scent magically arrives from no where. Baby, I love you so
much, I can't explain how lost I feel. But, I know way up there in
heaven, you have all you will ever need and someday soon we will all be
together Me, You, Daddy, Meanie, Nana, and Papaw. That's how it works,
everybody has a time. I love you so much Monkey man and I will be sure
to send you your toy cars by balloon tonight, Just like every year. I
love You Always!
April 12, 2007 Happy Birthday Little Cowboy. Today you would have been 5
years old. Oh how we miss you and the things we would have done together.
DJ wanted to go with us to visit you and even though he never met you he
knows a lot about you. DJ just had his 3rd Birthday a couple of weeks ago
and he is so smart, some times to smart. He call's your Dad his "best
buddy".
We know you are happy and Jesus is your best buddy. We well see you again
one day and have a big home coming. Love and missing you, Nana and Papaw.

March 27, 2007To the family, I was browsing on the web when I
came across Tyler's page and I thank you dearly! I have a six year old son
and a 12 month old and by reading your grandson's page, it made me
"appreciate" how precious life is again. Sometimes I get so boggled down
and stressed, that I forget the little things...especially how precious the
time that we have today is so important. I send love to your family and
continue to stay Strong, for the day when you will reunited, will be a
blessing indeed. God Bless you and I wish Tyler an early Happy Birthday on
the 12th. Love to you and your family once again.

Hey My Little Cowboy. Here we are with another year gone by. That's four
long years without the Light of our life.
Nana and I went and cleaned up around your head stone, just a few leaves
and we washed off the dirt on the head stone. Your picture that is on the
stone still look's good. I thought the weather and sun would have gotten to
it by now.
We have two new Grand Children on the way. Your Uncle Jeffery well have a
little girl any day now and Your Aunt Amy let us know that her and Brad
would be parents again some time June 2007 (Could be on 07/07/2007)
wouldn't that be something? I guess they could name it Seven.
You Dad is doing good. Of course he thinks about you every day. But he is
doing his best and we are very proud of him Wish he didn't live so far
away, but as long as he is happy then we are happy.
David is doing Great. You two guy's would have been best friends. Some
times when DJ is jumping and climbing all over the place, it reminds me of
how you did the same thing. Like climbing on top of your big car and the
car noises he makes is the same as the way you made the sound of a race
care "crash and burn."
We all miss you so very, very much, but God has had you for 1,095 day's,
5 hr., 6 min and 23 sec. at the time of this posting. And I'm sure He
isn't going to give you up.
We love you Big Boy and we tell David about you a lot.
Your "cake buddy" Papaw

My sweet Cowboy,
Nina and I went buy to visit you this past weekend. We had to clean up
around there but nothing is to good for you. I'm starting to forget your
smell and that worries me. I have a few things of yours that I keep in a
sealed bag but your sent has gone. But my memories of you are still so
fresh it's like yesterday you were climbing on top of your car and standing
on the roof, like the NASCAR drivers do
after they won a race. I bring up the smell because I know I smelled you
when I was editing a DVD of you for your
Dad. It filled my heart and soul with the warmest feeling and after it left
I was so much in peace that I never noticed the pain I'm in every day.
Thank you for reminding me that you are still
with us and that you do stop in every now and then. I just wished it was
for ever but nothing is for ever, except God's pure love.
I love and miss you like so many.
Papaw

Tyler, It's like it was yesterday that you were running up and jumping on
my lap and giving me that big smile and hug while saying "Papaw". But it's
been too long now when I come to the realism that you have been gone from
us for a long time but, I still feel your heart and I thank God that he
blessed Amy and Brad with David. He reminds me so much of you that it gives
me comfort in knowing that you are ok in God's hand's.
April 12th. is coming up and you would be 4 years old. I wish like everyone
else that knew you that you were here with us to watch you blow out those 4
candles and watch as you open each and everyone of your presents. But, just
as the past birthdays we can only thank God once again for sharing you with
us for such a short time.
Happy Birthday "My Little Cowboy" My love is with you.......
My little Angel. It is so hard to believe that you would be 4 yrs old
today. Oh how we miss you and wish everyday that you were here with us but
we know that you are in a happy place with God. You are our little Angel
and we tell David everyday that you are his special Angel watching over
him. We watched our video the other day of your 1st birthday and how you
were just not to happy that day you just wanted to be left alone but later
in the day you played and played with your toys. It gets harder and harder
as each birthday goes by and we don't get to spend them with you but are
very THANKFUL for the time that God did allow us to have you. You are my
special Angel and will always have a special place in my heart always and
forever. I Love you and Miss you. Happy Birthday My Precious Angel. Nana
Tylers Fourth Birthday-April 12th 2006
Tyler Baby, you would be four years old today. I Love You so Very much, and
even though I know you are in a better place, I still can't help but wish
that you could be here with all of the people who Love You so very much.
Today should be cake, ice cream, and surprises for you sweetheart, and
smiles, and happiness, and contentment for the ones who love you. There
aren't enough words to describe the crushing sadness I feel instead. I
would give anything just to see your face Tyler.......................
Even though it has been so long since I have seen you, or held you, it
seems like yesterday, when you reached for me to hold you for the very
first time. I sometimes sit, and all the images of your life come flooding
in on me, and I see the look of sheer joy on your face when you are
playing. I see the look of Accomplishment in your eyes that you had when
you managed to climb up and sit squarely in the middle of the dishwasher
door, when you caught it open. I can still see the look of pride you had,
as you sat there with the nintendo controller playing your little heart out
(you thought), as if you were a big boy like Tucker. I see the thrill on
your face when you realized that when you threw the big red ball at the
wall, it would bounce back to you, and you could catch it. I can still
clearly see you wrinkle your nose up and snuffle through it, just to make
me laugh at you. I can still see you reach for me in the hospital, when I
took you, and held you close, and you laid your head on my chest, while I
stroked your hair, that Monday, when you were so sick. Tyler, I would give
anything to be able to hold you today, and whisper in your ear, "Happy
Birthday Little Buddy, I Love You more than Anything in the Whole Wide
World".~Debra Hart {Tyler's Grandmother}
