Ty, for the millionth time, I miss you. This time of year it gets a little harder to eat, sleep, and even breathe. As I lay awake at night I cannot stop thinking about you. the thoughts drive me crazy sometimes but I'm happy I haven't forgotten a single memory. Id do anything to see you again. Remember your last day here when you said you'd go to the end of the world for me? Well hawaii seems like the end of the world and I really wish you were here. I miss my best friend more than anything. It breaks my heart that I used to call or text your mom every day just to see how you were doing and now I'm texting her and visiting your family without you there.. Nothing's the same and it hurts more and more every day. I miss you. Please help me sleep so I can keep seeing you in my dreams. Forever and always babe. Until we meet again.

I miss you a lot Ty. It's crazy to look back, we were so happy together.. Life just seemed so easy then. Your grandpas funeral was the second hardest thing I had to do in my life.. Yours was the hardest. I felt like I was reliving it all a again. i hope you're taking good care of him. I wish I would've went to see him before.. Or took mike and molly home like he always joked about. Anyways, I know a lot has changed but I hope you miss me and still love me. Forever and always Ty.

Tyler it is a very sad day, I just cannot believe your Grand-dad is with you. I cannot believe you are in heaven either. WOW that hole just keeps getting larger. But I know, yep, it is up to you now to take him by his hand and let him see he is loved also and will always be. Show him how to watch over his family. Let your family know you are both safe today. My heart breaks for them. The pictures of your grand dad were amazing I bet everyone you were with him they were good memories. I loved hearing about what you were up to and always so proud of you!

This time of year hurts the worst because it gets cold and I think about that day 24-7 on cold days like these . I remember for years whether we were together or not we would send a list of what we got for Christmas . I miss those lists I miss your name popping up on my phone I miss your silly laugh and how happy I was with you in my presence. I don't talk to you a lot and I'm sorry don't think it's because I don't want too. I just hate thinking of you and that day popping into my head . Valentines day was one of the best days I've ever had in 2013 and I'll never forget it or you . I love you so much . Every part Of me wishes you were still here with everyone . I hope you're doing okay up there because the more your gone the harder it seems to get for me . Visit me sometime soon . I love you bebe!

Football and basketball season are really hard on me now because we always shared so much during those times of the year. I constantly wonder what would have happened if I were there for you more, if I would have recognized that you were in trouble and that you needed my help. I hope to see you again in heaven.
