To Tyler’s Friends and Family,
It is hard to imagine that Tyler has been away from us for 3 years. Honestly, we are still stuck in time. Occasionally our minds drift back to our sweet lives before 8/2/2010, but mostly here in the present - a new world overshadowed by sadness, disbelief, and loneliness. We are at a loss of what to continue to say - how many ways can we say we miss you?
Everything reminds us of times with you.... We passed a foreign sports car dealership on the way to Caitlin's - remember when you, Astin, Dad and I were in Florida and we passed one? We went straight back there after dinner so you could look at them. Remember stopping at the Tamarac for lunch on our trips back home? You ALWAYS ordered - trout.
So many remembers and only one looking forward to:
" I dreamed a dream - and you were there-
A misty form yet real-
A maze of dreams to hear your voice
And clasp the hand of you.
Will I never hear your voice
Nor feel your hand in mine,
Or see your smile except in dreams
Until the end of time?
Then I would ask that I be led
In dreams to walk with you,
And walking find you waiting when
My journey here is through."
by Madge Kallas
I miss you Tyler - tucking you in at night - rubbing your head, sometimes long curly blond locks and sometimes when it was buzzed.

Thoughts
Tyler, we are remembering the curly headed boy that we all loved so very much. Recall a memory as often as you wish because a happy memory never wears out and we have plenty of memories of you. Your memories and stories have kept us going for the past three years and will always be in our hearts. I heard your voice a few months ago, and even though it wasn't real, it was powerful. Pap and I will love you forever and are so thankful you are our Grandson. Until we meet again.........Grandma and Pap.

Happy Birthday in Heaven, Dearest Tyler. Woke up this morning thinking of you, and what we could do today that you liked. Came up with a walk in the woods, which I know you liked to do. The sun is shining brightly and glistening on the still wet trees. Feeling very close to you right now, and know you would enjoy this walk! Thank you for watching over all of us. We miss you so much, and as Aunt Cindy said this morning, "we will be together again". Much Love, Grandma and Pap Graham.

Dreamt about you last night T-Rex. A different scene, with different things going on than the other dreams I've had about you, but still the same feeling of happiness that I was seeing you again. In the dream I saw you in a crowd of people and I kept trying to get to you with no luck, until I finally did somehow. And in these dreams I always know you can't stay long. But I'm hoping that logic and time and space will bend to keep you there. I always hug you as long as possible. And then I go on to wake up, and realize that it was just a dream and my heart is heavy. I love and hate those dreams all at the same time... Miss you so much.
