TYLER'S FAMILY (A TRUE STORY)

Tyler was sitting in his room late at night. Everyone else had gone to sleep.

He was filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Beyond what he could imagine. 

Family. 

Family was what had made him. All the unconditional love, support, concerns for his comfort and well-being...he would be nothing and no one without his family. 

At times, he felt guilty. Did he deserve such opulent love? 

He didn't know. He hadn't even done anything to deserve the family he had been born into. Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Grandmother, Grandfather....everybody loved him so much. He wondered if it was possible to pass out with gratitude. 

He wanted to make them proud. He wanted to give back to each one of them. 

Tyler breathed in deeply. There was so much he had to improve about himself. So much work to be done. 

He wanted to be less impulsive. Being impulsive was great sometimes, but that's it. After that, he had to know where to draw the line. Where to stop. 

He wanted to be calmer, more practical, focused with a more realistic approach to things. And to people. 

Tyler closed his eyes. He wished family would last forever. He wished everything good could be forever. 

It would be. He knew it. Family was forever. Love was forever.

He opened his eyes again; full of quiet, non-impulsive determination. 

He would make them proud. 

Based on a true story.

Until Next,
