Tyler Ryan

So how is Grandma's favorite oldest grandson?  I can always call you my favorite (oldest) grandson, and that is very special to me.  I was there when you were born, and you held my finger as the nurses checked you. Grandma was so excited, and your mom and dad did great. Daddy held you first, then mommy and then Grandma.  You were a handsome baby, and don't let mom tell you otherwise.  Grandpa and Grandma helped babysit you at night cause you were like Isaac and liked to be up at night.  What a stinker.

All your aunts and uncle (Jake) came up to see you. You were a very loved baby.  By the way, if they think you were spoiled tell them, "Yes, and that's OK."  Grandma babysat for you for a couple hours everyday while your mom worked.  You had all kinds of attention from grandpa and your aunts and uncle.

Who was the little boy who told Grandpa that your mom stole orange and then said, "Actually Grandpa, she buys it."  Then there was the time you told about Aunt Jodi's tattoo that will never come off. You also loved to go to the high school and shoot baskets.  It didn't matter that you were so little you couldn't reach the basket you tried over and over again, and Grandma ran after the ball.

The most important thing Grandma wants to say is how proud I am that you say "I love Jesus."

Tyler, mommy and daddy started teaching you about Jesus before you were born.  You were always singing songs and talking about Jesus.  Mom and Dad were young, but they always taught you about Jesus.  Grandma will always know that her oldest grandson loves Jesus.

I know mommy and daddy told you Grandma was sick, and you know I can't talk and I can't walk very good. I pray that Grandma will be around for many years, but I will always know that Tyler prays for me and that JESUS is first in Tyler's life.  Love you so much Ty.  

Love and Prayers

Grandma Dawn
