The kids painted pumpkins to decorate Tyler's grave. I didn't get a picture of all the pumpkins at Tyler's resting place but I did take Rae to give her pumpkin to Tyler. It was the first time Rae and I had been to the cemetery since Tyler's funeral. It was tough for both of us but I am glad we did it. It did open my eyes to the fact that we need to get his headstone but that's a whole blog post by itself.
Rachel performed in the fall chorus concert. I love to see her on stage having fun and doing what she loves.
Rae dressed up as a Minion from Despicable Me for Halloween. It was the first year since becoming a mother that I didn't go Trick or Treating with my kids. I had nose/sinus surgery on October 30 and couldn't leave the house to take her. She went with a friend and I am sure she had more fun that way. I did get to take her to a Halloween party the weekend before though.
many hours into it. Peyton was very involved and loved doing this for his brother. I know in the beginning they were talking about putting a bench on campus with his name engraved on it. The next thing I heard after that was a helmet statue. The end result is absolutely breath taking. Every parent that loses a child is terrified that he/she will be forgotten. This memorial will keep people talking about Tyler forever. Today in the ceremony, which was beautiful, I believe it was said that the football team will run by it and will each touch it as they pass on their way to play a game. Children that attend The Heritage School will always know who Tyler Henson was. He loved playing football there and now will always be a part of football tradition at the school. I will stop my "ramblings" now and let the pictures tell the rest of the story.
