Tyler, when you arrived at New Day South you arrived with doors wide open. We were so ready to welcome you, so ready to cover you with love, watch you grow, and so ready to see you healed. We knew your little heart was so broken, that your little body was working so hard for each and every beat, but we believed in your full recovery.

Your English name means doorkeeper, and sweet boy; we know your life was in the hands of the ultimate doorkeeper. We were hoping for healing here on earth, knowing that there are no barriers between heaven and earth. We were hoping for a yes to your earthly healing, but we know you are now fully healed, and you were welcomed into the Fathers arms through open doors.

Though you were only in our lives for a month, we are thankful for each and every moment. We chose to open the doors of our hearts to love you and to fight for you. We are not ‘okay’ with how your story ended, but we will keep allowing Him to open the doors of our hearts knowing that each and every time it is so worth it.
