My Bubba!!


A few days ago Dallas wrote a little bit about Tyler on his blog. I would like to take his "idea" and share a little about my special man.

Tyler is such a cute kid. He is so amazing. He captures my heart every day. I can't begin to describe the amazement and love and miracle that he is.

When we found out we were pregnant I was scared. Very scared. Lots of mean and harsh feeling were shared regarding my pregnancy and it was a VERY hard pregnancy both emotionally and physically. We had had a lot of complications, major life stressors and really bad luck during it. When we went to the hospital all I could think about was this child. This little person that was so angry and would kick ever contraction. After being in labor ( we didn't know it was "labor") for 2 full days I was sure I would go home empty handed. I did at first but when I got to bring him home he captured EVERY heart of everyone who saw him.


He has always had this "thing" about him. When we walked in the mall people would stop and want to touch him ( I freaked of course) It still hasn't changed, even now. People are drawn to him. He has such a spirit. He is such a giant in that little body of his. I personally have learned so much from him.



I have learned pure love. He is so quick to forgive and is always up for a hug when my voice is raised. He smiles all the time ( well most of it) and he makes so many people happy.



I have learned patience. More than I ever thought I would I have learned that I have to wait and see and there is not one thing I can do about it.


God works on his own time frame. Ty has never done things on time but he has always done them. He has defied all odds. He is a miracle. He puts the plan of salvation into perspective to me. He is what was meant by the pure love of Christ. I will have a life of a special kid with me but what a blessing. He has the pure love of Christ that I will never be able to obtain in this life but get the JOY .. the pure joy of who he is and feel that love.


I love my Tyler so much. Some day, after I am gray and old and he is still teaching me things I can express just how much he has taught me.





In the last 3 years I have changed so much. But the most growth has come from Him. From Tyler and all the things that he has been put through I know that he is meant to be mine.

Bubba!!! Thank you... You are my hero!

Yes Nancy, Tyler has changed us ALL. He is a miracle, an angel who's body can not contain his spirit. I think that is what draws everyone to him! But . . . Tyler is very blessed to have YOU and Dallas as his Mom and Dad. He needed GREAT parents and Heavenly Father made sure :) he got them! I Love You, Mom Brown

Ty's mom is my hero. She is the best advocate/dr/mom a kid could have!
We are so excited to see you guys whenever you are back in Utah.

I remember the first time I saw him. It almost brought me to tears. He has such an amazing spirit. I just can not believe how much Heavenly Father loves these little ones who have been through so much. We are all blessed to know him.

By the way...I loved this post, and Tyler will too when he is older.
