It has been a rough afternoon, I have shed more tears than I ever wanted to this evening, but we all have to go on, and we have to keep hoping and praying. I thank each of you, your words and prayers have touched me and I know will touch the family. I know that Tyler and his family are grateful. There are so many others to remember, his teammates, Erik and Steph Akin who have done so much, people like T.C. Dantzler who has been calling every week to check in, his friends, people like Kobi Williams who is more like a sister than a friend and the list could go on and on.

I read other threads and I wonder if people would be the same if they knew Tyler, I don't think they would. My life has changed for the better because of the things this family has taught me. He has brought those that chose to come along to a place where we are truly family. May we all learn to share the love and see our kids as kids. May our coaches learn the importance of teaching lessons that carry on past the wrestling room, may our children know that we love and care for them no matter how many matches they win or how many matches they loose. Thanks to the Graebners for allowing us to learn lessons from them, may each of us dedicate the remainder of this year to this family and Tyler.
