Posted by rachel I have my _. When I'm angry, upset or just tired and hot I feel better as soothing streams of air billow in from the night sky. For Sarah, she sees God in trees. I feel God in the breeze. A friend passed away two years ago May. He had a long bout with cancer and for all of the people I've known in this life, he has left his print permanently engrained. He knew me like few ever have or ever will. In fact, we knew one another in a way that was unique and rare. When he died, his brother told me a story. Tyler used to IM quite a bit as he was often sick and and stuck in bed towards the end. Preston, his brother, lived in California and their way of constant communication was through IMing one another. Preston was able to come home and spend quite a bit of time with Tyler before he died but the day before Tyler passed away, he thought of telling Ty to IM him when he got to heaven. Sort of as a joke, but with sincerity as well. As Preston was thinking about it he decided he was going to pose a challenge. As his way of telling him he was ok, Preston wanted Ty to ask God to make the wind blow. He forgot to tell Tyler his challenge and before long, it was too late. However, the day of Tyler's death the wind in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan was absurd. Gusts of wind poured through these states. On this May day it was unnatural how windy it became. Friends commented and Preston remembered the challenge he was never able to voice but that still seemed to have been heard. I think of Ty in the wind. I think of Ty and I think of God. And I feel comforted.

I stopped posting on here a while back. It has been a long time. But, I know various people (myself included) still check to see whether or not anybody has written anything (every so often). I think of the Stutzmans a lot and I want you to know that I love you as a family. I'm glad I was given a chance to get to know you, first through Tyler, then Vanessa and Preston. I wrote a journal entry a while back while thinking of Tyler. I hope it helps to encourage some and if nothing else, know that he continues to live on in my heart and my memories. I wrote something on here similar to this shortly after Ty passed away but I think it's since disappeared. Anyway, I've copied the journal entry below for those who are interested:
