Today, August 2, 2005, Tyler would have been 20 years old. I cannot begin to say how much I miss him. He is in my heart always.
The sunset this evening was spectacular. Tyler would have loved it. As he would have loved the endless field of sunflowers, fully flowered, that framed the brilliance of the sun as it sank slowly into the horizon. Magnificent! What a fitting tribute to one whose essence and smile was full of the sunshine of life.
This field of Sunflowers and the setting sun stunned me - it's almost identical to the field of Sunflowers that I dreamed about Tyler standing in, when he turned and walked away into the sunlight. I'll post about that dream sometime.
