Aw, Marley I’m crying now. You and your family will be in my thoughts today. It just isn’t fair, especially to your mom and dad. I’m so sorry that Tyler had to go through all of this. ---

I am so sorry. I am heartened that you and the ones Tyler loved were with him at the end. I hope your mom gets her tattoo, and I’m glad she has the newer blanket as a memento. I feel helpless here and know my words are inadequate. Thank you for sharing Tyler with us; he was an amazing person. My oldest son is 18, which reverberates softly in my brain as I kept up with this thread. When my sister died, I felt like I was living in a vacuum-as if I had dropped into an abyss; that a body part had been amputated. 7 years on, I cope better with the loss, but there is no resolution; the Big Eraser in the Sky came and took her, and now Tyler. All I have is my condolences. One day at a time, **Marley**. One day at a time. ---

Aw, gosh, Marley. I don’t know whether to feel relief for all of you because his suffering is finally over, or just immense sadness. Both, I suppose. Enjoy sharing the memories of Tyler that people will offer up these coming days. It’s amazing how much you find out about a person, how they’ve touched people, until they’re gone. Best wishes in dealing with the coming weeks. Cancer sucks. Love trumps all. ---
