15

Today, Tyler is 15.

I ask, how did this happen?  Where did the time go. I am thinking of all the wonderful seasons we have gone through, there have been so many. Last year we began a season that will last a lifetime. As I write about this, the bittersweet journey of children growing up, my eyes begin to fill and things get cloudy. A dear friend calls and I tell her Tyler is 15 today, dead silence, after a moment she asks if he is ok. Eyes flood, numbers will never be the same, not even on birthdays.
