Tyler is the busiest person I know. While the rest of us grapple with emotion, exhaustion,driving, parking, moving blah blah blah he stays the course. He goes to multiple appointments a day, does really un-fun labs, scans, treatments but stays the course. He is the anchor and the driving force of it all. He’s calm, and frankly reassuring especially when I think I can’t take it all anymore. I go from grace to wanting to round house kick people in the back of their heads and throats. He is now the youngest grandchild to have their own apartment at 13 in SF. In between all of what he needs to show up for he swims, walks, crashes lunch appointments, and naps. He and @oshmivia.r are truly professional nappers. The only request I received was for a chicken pot pie for this guy. Next weeks goal is to get him one of the dogs to stay with him throughout the week. Because as Tyler says “dogs just make everything better”. Tyler knows he has a lot of folks cheering for him and appreciates it all. Be kind to each other folks and remember it can always be worse.
