Happy Birthday Tyler!

I hope it was a great one!

It's hard to believe that you are 14 and will be starting high school in a couple of months. It seems like yesterday that you were sitting in a basket in our living room, playing with blocks.

But, you've grown into a fine young man, and I pray that you will continue to grow and to remember the things your parents have taught you. They've given you a good foundation on which to build your life. Where it goes from here is pretty much up to you. Make good decisions and enjoy every day as the gift that it is. Never lose the little kid inside, do what is expected of you, remain true to your beliefs, and you will be a man we can all be proud of.

Your Grandma and I love you a lot, and wish you all the best in life.

Make 14 the best year ever!
