Con-GRAD-ulations Tyler!

As each of my nieces graduated, I looked back on how far they had come and how fast they had grown. As my only nephew graduates, this holds so true. When Sherri and Tyler lived with us after he was born, I looked forward to spending each day watching him grow.  I was fortunate enough to babysit him and, as with all my nieces, I loved dressing him and taking him around with me.  When Matt and I got married, he was our ring bearer and I even made it a point to make sure the DJ played a special song that resonated with me when it came to him (Elton John's "Your Song"). Maybe it was being in the delivery room when he was born, maybe because he was the first boy in the family, or maybe, despite not being the most affectionate person, its the way he loves his cousins,  he holds a special place in my heart. 
I am so proud of you Tyler. The world is a big place and I know you will make your mark on it. Congratulations "Muffin Man" on your high school graduation.
