The Night Before...

the first football game. Football season has arrived and I can't hide from it. Tyler looked forward to football more than anything in his life and everyone knew it. His first comment after the last baseball game was "now we can play football!". His life revolved around the sport, starting when he was nine years old and flew home from Disney for a scrimmage game.





First Varsity practice together- Peyton 8th & Tyler 10th

 Tonight Peyton went with his cousins and a close friend to see Tyler. My son should have been going to the next room to see his big brother but instead had to go to the cemetery to visit his grave. Peyton is roaming the house, cleaning cleats and gathering his things for tomorrow. He will go play his brother's sport tomorrow , a sport that he only continued to play because of his brother, with his head held high and his big brother in his heart.

I have no words for the immense pain I feel tonight. I will be strong and sit in the stands tomorrow night and cheer for all of Tyler' brothers on the field. I know Tyler will have the best seat , cheering from above..
