My Hero

Dear Hero,

The day you were born was the day you became my hero. You are the strongest, most loving and most amazing miracle that ever entered my world. You are an inspiration to everyone who meets you.

As we have watched you grow, you have done more than you were ever suppose to do. Me and your dad KNEW you would do them. Our Hero has never given up and has pushed through it and done it all.

You make me smile when you hula dance with daddy. When you ask for ice cream because Barney has one. When you give your daddy kisses because Tiger gives kisses. You keep my heart in you hand when you climb up on your daddy and you fall asleep. When you get home from school and head right in to his office, even if he is gone, and sign dad and fish.

I fall deeper in love with you when you pretend to be a flamingo. Or when you take my hand to show me what you want. I fall deeper in love with you when you sit at a table like a big boy and have "conversations" with your daddy and I without saying a word. I love you when you smile that smile and you make that belly laugh. When you lay down ad raise your feet and ask for piggies. When you take rocket with you so you can be brave. When you ask for mom to trace your numbers with you. I love that you work so hard at therapy. That you work so hard to try to say words and communicate with us. You walk like a big boy and you are the best big boy I know.

How can a spirit like yours be trapped inside that little body? How could that little body change me so much. YOU ARE A HERO.

We know that things will get hard. We know that things will hurt. Remember, you are a hero and you will always be a miracle. You will always be my little boy. You will always be my hero.

Tyler.... A hero. That is what you are. A hero.
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes, courage is the Quiet voice at the end of the day saying.." I will try again tomorrow."
