Tyler, I am so proud to be your mom. Each of every day you do something that amazes me. It is so hard for me to believe that you are growing up so fast. I am so afraid to blink, before I know it you are going to be a grown man on your own.

Hold fast to the person you are. You are very special and unique. Never let anyone change you. The best things that have ever happened to me are you and your brother. Thank you for being wonderful and being my son!

I love you more than you can ever imagine. One day, when you have your own children you will begin to understand the depths of my love.
