Oh the excitement around here!!! Tyler graduated High School!!!
But before we could do that of course we have had lots of storms here in Ohio and we lost two big trees and our electric line went down accross the road soooo, (this was Friday) all night John and JP sat out guarding the line so no one would run into it. Saturday after I got out of work here Matt Meyers had helped get our electricity back on our house (Toledo Edison apparrently had too much going on) and Jim, Rick Beeker and Jason Beeker came over and did a great job of cleaning up the trees and making sure our shed etc didn't receive any more damage.
Then up early Sunday to get everything ready for graduation. It was so hot that Tyler sat in the office until it was time for the kids to do their diplomas etc. When they called Tyler's name all the kids and alot of parents gave him a standing ovation. He was so suprised but very pleased at the same ( I am tearing up just talking about it. What great kids)!. The kids were going to wear masks in his honor but the principal was afraid other parents might be upset. That is ok cause it was their graduation also and just the thought that they would do that was wonderful! My camera was acting up (of course) so some of my pics are a little blury, I will check with some others to see if they have some pics. Thursday we go to UM for visit and blood work, will write more then.
I posted this pic on the front of his carepage< I just like the attitude!!!! These are two of Tylers friends John O and Frank B.

"A PAIR of SHOES"
"A Pair of Shoes"
I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.
I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some woman are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child .

Hi Tyler-
I came across your carepage when I was reading another person's caringbridge page. I noticed you live close to us (we are from Toledo) and I thought I would stop by your page to say Hi! It sounds like you are a very strong and brave person and we wish you the best. I have 2 brave boys, both with optic glioma brain tumors and they are patients at UM Cancer Center. You are receiving care at a great facility. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
I am happy to read you will get to walk at graduation. It is a wonderful experience!

Hi Tyler,
I am not sure this message will get to you---but I am sitting here in my hotel room in Boston and I just wanted to say that I am thinking of you buddy! I was right in the middle of doing THE DROWSY CHAPERONE tonight and I overheard one of the stagehands mention he was an Eagle scout---and I couldn't help think of you! You brought a smile to my face! -Mr. Madaras

Another theatre story...
Jody Madaras May 19, 2008 at 09:44 PM EDT
Hi Tyler,
Hey!!! Here is another stage story for you: in the show I am doing right now(it's called THE DROWSY CHAPERONE)there are a set of bakers(they are actually gangsters posing as bakers) and one day this week, one of the bakers was late for his entrance! And I happened to be watching the show from the audience that day, and he RAN out onstage so fast---it SO REMINDED ME OF YOU AS THE CHEF IN HELLO, DOLLY! Remember??? LOL. You were never late with your entrance, but the speed at which he bounded out from stage right reminded me of you!!!
Keep your chin up, keep smilin' and do all the things your dr.s tell you to do! Thinkin of you----Mr. Madaras
Hi Tyler
Chris Kummer May 19, 2008 at 07:29 PM EDT
Hi Tyler,
I just found your webpage. I am glad your mom left it for us on my site. It stinks that your cancer came back. I am sorry.
You are getting ready to graduate? Me too...but from 8th grade. I am going to Notre Dame next year. Are you pretty excited for graduation?
Hugs and Prayers,
Colleen
Hi
Leslie Trinklein May 17, 2008 at 02:43 PM EDT
I finally got around to searching for Tyler's page. I was thinking about you and your family today. I am glad I found a way to read updates on Tyler. Everything sounds great. I will keep praying for your family. We are doing great here to. Just doing chemo to keep the cancer from returning. Hopefully we can keep in touch now.

Sending sunshine from the west coast (British Columbia)
Jena Lohrbach May 17, 2008 at 11:32 AM EDT
Tyler, Mrs. Pioterek told me you could use some sunshiny, happy thoughts, and there's no better sunshine than here in British Columbia, so I'm attaching some to this message. Can you feel it? It's so different from Ohio sunshine... much brighter. And today, it's very warm--I think because Someone knew I'd be sending some of it to you. :)

Congratulations Tyler! What an accomplishment.. with all you have had to endure, you still managed to walk with your class. Chelsea and I are miles away from you physically, but inches away from your battle. Chels is S2HL DX on Valentine's Day of this year. She is 17 and mustered up the strength to walk with her class on June 12th. I want you to know that we are with you and support you and PRAY for you every day. Your Mom has been a great support to me on the LLS discussion board... she is an amazing person, just like her son! Stay strong Tyler!
always,
Heidi & Chelsea
