Tyler it’s been a whole year without you. I miss you so much and I wish you could see how big Asher is now. He talks nonstop and I know you would have loved talking to him. Also, thank you for handpicking Emmie out for us. She’s perfect and I can’t help but think about you when I look at her, like you were sending down a piece of your heart to help us get by down here without you. I also miss hanging out with you and all the good times we had. I can’t help but wonder what life would be like if you were still here but then I get too sad thinking about the reality that you’re not. You mean so much to so many. We all miss you here on earth but I know we will all be together again one day.
