It’s been said time heals all wounds. I don’t agree. The wounds remain, in time the mind, protecting its sanity covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. March 04, 2014 I lost my best friend/my brother and I would be a liar to say that it doesn't hurt and isn't hard. Being at Prairie View was only because he went here and I knew he would look out for me. I remember being at work and receiving the phone call to rush to his apartment only to be told that he was already gone. I thank God for taking him away peacefully but yet I still wonder why. I can say Prairie View student body has done over and beyond to not only make sure that I am okay but also just showing their love for Tyler. He was a football player, graduate student, barber in University College, friend, brother, and a son. To me he was a fighter, lover, protector, motivator, best friend, the best play brother I have ever had.

I remember when I was about to drop out of college and give up due to everything seeming to knock me down and Tyler said “If you quit, I will quit and we will both be stupid!” That saying has stuck with me for the past two years and anytime I feel like I can’t do it I remember what he said, because he has graduated with his Bachelors degree and was pursing to get his Masters. That in itself was great because that was a promise we made with each other. So I love you Ty-Ty and know everything I am doing is for you.
