Laurie, you know I believe firmly in the afterlife and I do believe your "dream" was a visit.. and a lovely reassuring one at that. I am so glad to hear you had a better day. (((hugs)))

Ohmygosh, Laurie. . .please forgive me for smiling when I saw this. I mean, "pooooor Tyler", but I'm imagining the scene. . . you with your finger on the shutter, waiting waiting waiting for the moment he smacks the ball into centerfield, the ball is there .. . click. . .to see him wincing in pain with the ball in his back :( What a MOMENT! This is one you will remember and treasure tho forever :)

Laurie, is that your son??? My, I haven't seen pictures of him in a while I guess. I remember seeing pictures of your kids when I first joined dpChallenge in 2004, and they seemed so young and "little". Isn't he growing up to be the handsome "jock" looking young man :) And the beautiful girlfriend to go with it :)

I love how comfortable he is in being "in love" for his mom's camera. That speaks volumes about how much he loves and trusts you. He's a lucky young man. . .on all kinds of levels :)
