Tyler was a special little guy! I spent 9 months caring for him in my womb. Unlike my other three children, I spent much time playing with him and carressing him while I was pregnant as did Corey. Little did I know then that was the only chance I'd ever have to take care of my baby and get to know him. On Halloween night, I went into labor only to have it stopped at the hospital. Over the next 36 hours, my baby fell asleep and woke up in God's arms. Though I might not know the reasons fully, God had great plans for him. He is using Tyler's death, my walk through this loss, as well as the walks of my friends and family who are also grieving to touch many people. I also feel sure that many lives will be affected by the increased quality of care they will receive by the doctors that treated me as well as the nurse who was so cold to me the night they stopped my labor. The preacher who spoke at his funeral said that several people came to know Christ that day. One of the biggest ways it has affected me personally is that I have a renewed dedication to my family. I am determined to enjoy the time that God has given me with them.
I would love to hear how Tyler has affected your life also.

Tyler Was precious and will always be in my heart. He taught me that I could lean on God when things got rough and I didn't understand, The tragic circumstances of his loss also allowed me to realize I had past hurts buried deep in me that was able to come to the surface and be realeased, so God used this Tragic event to bring healing to my wounded soul. I remember the yellow butterfly that Michael brought into the house and how it was like a sign that God and Tyler sent to us that it was going to be ok, later that week when I was mourning and grief was deep a yellow butterfly appeared and at the precious service again a yellow butterfly appeared. Tyler's way of saying I am ok , and you will be to. God Loves you and He has everything in control. One day I will be able to see, play and rejoice with Tyler in my Heavenly Fathers House.

I really am kind of lost about the way that I feel about losing Tyler I have always been able to turn to god through pray and the faith I have in his will being done. But the loss of Tyler has given me a challenge in my walk with god. I feel like i need to know God better so that I might begin to understand and feel comfort in knowing that there is a plan and Tylers death was part of that plan. I keep looking for answers in the bible and I am still just clueless. There has been some really hard days in the last month where i try very hard not to let it get to me. I have never had these feelings about any ones death but Tylers was so unexpected i just couldn't wait to meet him.I couldn't wait to watch him grow up. I feel so hurt for you and Cory. But i know that God has his arms wrapped around you guys so tight and he will see us all through these times. I also want to say we love you guys and are happy to do anything to help but i know you already know that
