There is a young man that I admire immensely. He inspires me to be a better person. A better mother. A better friend. He walks a high standard in which the words, 'to compromise', are unheard of. This extremely slender, 6'1" athlete with dusty blond curly locks and his ocean blue eyes framed with black wired glasses has a smile to go along. Oh, and when he runs, such a pleasure to behold. Such determination. Such perseverance. Such grace.
He does not talk a lot. Quite the opposite of me, in fact. But when he has something to say, it is worth listening to. There is a rarity these days where one will think before they speak. He has that gift. I appreciate that about him. Unashamed to be known as the Faith living, Christ believer that he has been since the wee age of five, he holds the same tenacity when it comes to the relationships around him.
This almost 19 year old young man will shortly be leaving for college. I wonder if he truly knows how tremendously missed he will be? Our conversations, times of humor and laughter, and just all-around presence within our home. You see, he is my son. He is my Tyler. And I love him.
