Day 24 – A photo of something that means a lot to you.


My relationship to Tyson means the world to me!

I have had so much fun collecting memories from his childhood buddies, siblings, nieces & nephews, aunts & uncles, in-laws, co-workers, team mates, mission companions, men he's served with in church callings...all friends young and old....etc and as I've read through them all the last 2 days I have laughed, cried and felt so blessed to have him in my life.

I know he is who he is today because of how many wonderful people have influenced his life. The memories everyone shared are priceless and he told me better than any gift I could have bought at the store. He'll now have these memories to keep forever. What I like most about them is they are from other people's perceptions. Some of them he had heard and forgotten and others he doesn't even recall doing or saying and is grateful for the new stories. I think he sure felt loved today, so mission accomplished.

Happy Birthday Babe. xoxo

Hope Tyson had a great birthday! You were so incredible to think of such a good idea for a gift. I bet they're were some good memories shared!

Sorry - bad grammar. I meant "there" instead of "they're". :)

Happy Birthday to Tyson - did Carlin ever send a memory of Tyson? I forwarded your email to him but never followed through.
