Happy Birthday Tyler
Of course, I have so many hikes to blog about. A three week trip to Yellowstone NP and Grand Teton NP, a summit of Mt. St. Helens, and many more…but there never seems to be the time.
But today, I only wish my son a Happy 16th Birthday. Last night, just before midnight, the two of us sat together and talked about how big this felt. (to me) I cried a bit. He’s so good. He nods in understanding and tolerates with such sweetness when his mom gets sappy. We laughed about that. He has such a big heart. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to share in his journey. Such a cliche…but the world IS a better place with Tyler in it.
Happy Birthday Tyler.

Wow! It seems like just a couple years ago when Tyler entertained us after his (fourth?) birthday party in the activity room at your old condo. Happy Birthday, Tyler, and congrats to you, Annie, for the amazing distance you’ve traveled in that short span of time.

I remember that too Dave! In many ways he’s still very much the same. I wish we lived closer…
